Big rigs verses passenger vehicles

Big rigs verses passenger vehicles

In today's world with so many big rigs on the road there are bound to be accidents involving them and passenger vehicles.  In 2009 on the Will Rogers turnpike just west of Joplin 10 people were killed when a big rig smashed into multiple vehicles from behind.  The verdict was that the driver of the big rig didnt have sufficient sleep and that his truck did not have the additional safety features installed on it to prevent a situation like this from occuring.

I agree with the argument in that is being presented in this article.  There are so many semi's on the roads today and there are so many people driving tiny cars that something should be done to make the roads safer.  There are options for all big rigs out there.  Accessories that can be installed on their trucks that can keep horrific accidents from happening, like the one that occurred in 2009.  The reason that most of the big rigs do not have these accessories installed all come down to the owners not wanting to spend the extra money.
