so, its just coincidence. most truckers are the better driver out there. but if you look around, how many others make bad moves, including your local police force. how many of you actually use a turn signal to change lanes? do you signal before you change or as you change? when you make a left turn, do you stay in the most left lane or do you move to the right lane? how many of you actually obey the rules of the road for your passenger car? when you compare the number of big rigs (18 wheelers) to the number of passenger cars, there is a disparity. more accidents are caused by passenger cars. truckers are professional drivers and are held in highest regard to driving. as a former driver trainer, our logs books had to be ready for inspection anytime. our trucks are inspected at will by the dot. you don't want to have an error on your book or the truck during these inspections, because a ticket is very costly! because we are held to a higher standard, we can get tickets whereas a passenger car driver can possibly get a warning. what makes it worse, is that we are looked at the same way when driving our own personal vehicle.
