Where is the cry??
This madness must stop.
If they examine how many trucks are involved in all accidents, the percentage is very high. The police must be municipal and check the driver's licenses of truck drivers.
The problem is not the drivers themselves, it's the system that pushes them to take more risks... Although in some accidents, and this part is quite large, the one at fault is the shipper of the cargo and not the driver, but they never check that...
