Large trucks are a serious safety threat, and should be discouraged from using public roads, says the car review website dogandlemon.com.
Editor Clive Matthew-Wilson, who is an outspoken road safety campaigner, says he’s “horrified” at the large number of accidents involving trucks and cars, including a recent incident where a log fell from a truck and pinned a woman in her car.
“Trucks make up about 2.5% of the vehicle fleet but cause 18% of all road deaths. Even though trucking accidents have dropped in recent years, trucks are still a major hazard.”
