RE: Heavy (truck) thoughts
Yeah, I know...Possibly due to unrealistic deadlines, other idiots on the roads and innatentive phone-driving?

I don't know, krazzytrukker just says they don't know what they're doing which is a pretty scary thought!
Yes, that too I guess...Loads of reasons for a higher incidence of road accidents with heavy trucks. We have massive ones here, up to 5 or 6 trailers. They hike along at 140kph (almost 100mph) and can be very frightening for the uninitiated when one is confronted by one. Still, we need them to keep the country moving.
Holy cow! 5 or 6 trailers! Dang, there must be a law here limiting them to 2 trailers. How do they turn corners?
They are not allowed into the cities so the roads are not conjested. I'll do a post on it someday. See the link below.
Dang, that's amazing. Never seen anything like it. The grills on those trucks big enough?
It's pretty full on huh? The doubles are allowed in cities and the triples also, but at certain times only. Those big 4, 5 and 6 trailer things are only in the more country areas. Having one of these barrelling towards you on a dirt road will get your attention...They done stop or slow. Beasts of the road.
That's true about stopping, they wouldn't be able to! I suppose it takes a special license or special training?
A proper license and training both, yes.
