    They showed it to us. What was interesting was when we took a field trip to the weigh station and Mr. DOT was telling us how trucks are 80,000 missiles(seriously) and I pointed out the statistic(70% of accidents involving CMVs are caused by 4 wheelers) he gave me a dirty look and said " I don't THINK so". Maybe they need to show it in DOT officer school too.

    Something like this SHOULD be shown in Drivers Ed in our High Schools!
