Really?

13 May 2002


Does this mean truckers might be willing to report each other. My recent experiences on this nation’s highways show that a tiny percentage of long-haul truckers are as dangerous as any menace on the road. I’m not suggesting all or even most truckers cause problems. I’m simply saying that an 18-wheeler at maximum allowable length and weight packs quite a punch. Driven by one who assumes he is owed the road such a truck becomes lethal. Does homeland security include safer highways?
