Honestly, I mind dying A LOT LESS by my own mistakes than by some idiot who was speeding or fell asleep at the wheel.

That sucks, because no SUV is big enough in a head-on with these vehicles. We are truly at the mercy of truckers not to murder us.

Locally, one trailer took out a telephone poll a couple years ago after the driver fell asleep. He was fine... very minor injuries from that accident.

Me too. They do it all the time.

I know what you mean. I drive a SUV and when they come up behind you they just tower over you. I don't worry about a head on as much as I worry about them just running over the top of me.

We have so many fatalities on I-40 (where I live), because they drive all night and they are always running over someone. This past year was a bad one for them because there were a few where the trucks collided with each other and they were the ones killed.

In that case, truck sales should skyrocket as SUV owners trade up in size for safety sake!!!
