Three times as many accidents are the car’s fault.
Older truck drivers are the safest drivers on the road.
Cars are dangerous, of all ages.

A car is reckless.
A truck is wreck less.

I drive about 90 miles on the interstaates an back on a fairly regular basis.

In the stretch going and coming there are always two or three reecent scars where trucks have run off the road. Is a sleepy

run off the road a wreck?

I am on the road a lot —in a car—and I believe what you’re saying. I just don’t know that upper eighties is a good age for most people to begin, or even continue, a career behind the wheel of a truck. My father drove a car until he was 87. It was an adventure to ride with him those last couple of years. He was active and in pretty good condition, but nowhere close to the driver he had been. He didn’t drive in a hazardous way; he just wasn’t as good anymore as he should have been.
