This has got to be the biggest propaganda film I've ever seen. Hell I drive these combinations every day. They are NOT unsafe. Anyone with a camera can film an occasional screw-up, and accidents do happen on occasion, but think of the hundreds of millions of safe miles between accidents. Do we stop the airlines because of one crash?

what this post dont tell you is how many of these accidents were caused by the cars they just wana blame the poor fuckin truckers

@210bandsman

If so, your comment is propaganda as well. Yes, under ideal conditions, these combinations are not overly unsafe. However, simple common sense suggests they are not particularly safe in the real world of far less than ideal conditions - heavy traffic, high speeds, tight turns, strong winds, bad weather, and so on. Why are you refusing to acknowledge that basic reality?

LCV CDL drivers in Canada or atleast Alberta must follow these rules :

1) zero% drugs or alcohol in blood stream

2) zero points or demerits on personal licence minuim 3 years

3) Truck must pass CVIP inspection twice a year and driver MUST have all current A,B,C inspections and services in truck for review .

UPS FedEx run tripples every day . lawblaws runs turnpikes every on the hyway . I see lots for truck in the ditch and many cars as well . never have i seen a LCV in the ditch .

@warrawombat Yeah but the difference here in the US is most people cant drive a car. Most car/truck accidents are the car drivers fault., even with stats and data to back this up, the states and feds want to crack down on trucks even more. I think ALL drivers should be held to higher standards, car drivers should be required to pass driving tests, drug tests and physicals just as truckers are required too. The highways should would be lonely.

Welcome to the propaganda that the US railway corporations push every time a new transportation bill comes up in the Congress. Talk about a bunch of self-serving fear mongers...
