Fewer than you think. Most wrecks are caused by some ass in a Honda cutting off a 18-wheeler.

Accidents involving haevy trucks have been dropping. Add to that most accidents involving a car and truck were caused by the driver of the car.

Very few. Truckers are the safest drivers on the highways.

Something like 75% of crashes involving Semi's are caused by automobiles.

I would be for it if all commercial trucks were required to have digital tachographs in use at all times and they were inspected at random by State troopers at rest stops and weigh stations. That the information on the tachographs was legal evidence of speeding and or improper time behind the wheel.

I think the truckers would not go for it but in the EU tachographs are mandatory.
