I’m commenting from what I experience and from what I read. A substantial percentage of accidents and road closings are because a semi was improperly handled. We keep hearing that one reason bridges are in such bad shape is those heavy, speeding trucks. My experience driving is personal. You cannot see around or get around some of those trucks. Surprised a poster would want more regulations? Yes, I want regulations on roads to keep them safe.
Trust me the regulations to keep the roads safe are already out there. More regulations are not the answer.
The problem is that people don’t always follow them.
Some driver wants to make a big paycheck hauling a heavy load but doesn’t have the trailer to handle it takes back roads to avoid the troopers and drives over bridges not built to handle the weight. Those bridges are damaged as are the roads he took.
Just as with fire arms trucks can be deadly in the hands of those who don’t care about the laws and no law can stop them.
