    The number of crashes involving transport trucks is alarming. There were 7,674 collisions involving the big rigs in Ontario last year. This is the highest the province has seen in the last four years.

    Out of these, 55 of the cases were fatal and 10 of those deaths occurred on the east region highways.

    If you weren't racists you would refer to the drivers that caused the carnage as, "A holes!"

    You don't need to attach a colour, race, ethnicity or religion to it.
    An "A hole" is an "A hole" and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours, the earth is covered with them, no shortage whatsoever!

    Stand in a room full of any denomination of "off white people" and you're bound to find at least one A hole.
    Who knows, you might even be that A hole!

    Following too close causes most of the accidents, also there are a lot of ######## on the road these days. You usually see them coming up hot in the mirror while your in slow traffic and then they stay on your bumper or pass in the go fast lane where trucks shouldn’t be. It usually gets worse the closer you get to TO

    The hash marks should have been A holes but I wrote the proper spelling by mistake

    Gosh, A holes that abuse the immigration/employment system. A holes that brag about dominating the trucking industry in Canada. A holes that can't speak or understand more than pigeon English. Most A hole companies now use the team driving model only (thereby assuring non A holes won't work for them). A holes that don't hire non A hole Canadian born drivers. A holes that keep the rates low. A holes that cause most of the accidents. Gosh, so many A holes everywhere. We need a way to figure out who they are in advance.
