Large trucks account for five per cent of the vehicles in the United States but play a role in ten per cent of fatal accidents.
How many accidents happen with parked cars? Yet they’re the majority of vehicles. Not to defend the American trucking industry; it’s a disaster and there’s no way that heavy trucks would be allowed on roads if they were suddenly invented today.
ETA: finished the article. The above quote really is tangential to the point of the article. It’s a great read. The lengths people go to for money is astounding.
