Question on high performance brakes?
Where I live (UK) because most of the truckers are foreign, not used to driving on left, don't know rules of road, drive excess hours, incapable of lane changing without sideswiping cars in other lanes & becuase most of us are used to having a truck driving 6 inches off our @s$ regardless of the speed.Apart from that no reason at all.
I know, it doesn't make sense. My guess is that people assume that the car was smart enough to not do something stupid since it is smaller, and that the big, bad truck had to be at fault... What people forget is that the majority or drivers these days are stupid, and often make others pay for their mistakes. Fortunately, when it's the car's fault in a car vs. truck accident, the guy in the truck usually wins.

From experience I can tell you it's more often the car drivers fault.Truck drivers are trained to a far higher standard than the ordinary motorist and have to adhere to strictly imposed rules and regulations. Bad driving on the part of a trucker can lead to loss of license and loss of job.
Cars often veer sharply in front of trucks, overtake them in dangerous locations, undertake, pull out in front to avoid getting stuck behind one, don't leave enough room for trucks to maneuver at junctions etc.
Are 15 seat vans difficult to drive?
Three nights back I was at the scene of a bad accident involving a truck - a car had tried to overtake going up a blind hill. As a car came over the hill the driver slammed on the brakes, lost control, clipped the truck, left the road and hit a lamp-post at speed. Three people were seriously injured, fortunately they'll all recover.
Is there a minimum age to drive a 7.5 ton lorry?
From the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)...from their own figures...in an accident involving a semi and a car the car driver is at fault 74% of the time. However people like some who have already answered automatically assume it was the truck driver's fault. Part of the blame can be traced to newspaper headlines..."Truck hits car!" the headline will read but when you read the article, which most people probably wouldn't, it says the semi hit the car because the car ran a stop sign. But sensationalism sells newspapers so the headline is what it is. If people spent a day riding with a truck driver and see the crap he puts up with they'd come away with a better appreciation for just how good truck drivers are and just how safe they have to be. I know.I've got 33 years of accident free driving behind me.well over 2.5 million miles.Who thinks lack of concentration on the road kills not speed?
