Re: A sobering thought



That really does not surprise me.  My traffic engineering professor just went 
over some stats on truckers and that does not sound any worse than what he 
share with us.  The most disturbing news to me was the idea that many trucks 
do not have brakes that work (he stated logging trucks are generally the 
worse), or that many truckers disconnect the trucks brakes and only use the 
brakes on the trailers.  This helps to eliminate jackknifing (however it 
spelled), but leaves many trucks without the ability to stop on downgrades....
Nice huh
