The Big Beasts Called Trucks
Big trucks are the heaviest kind of trucks that are allowed on our roads. They are mostly used for long distance trips. As you probably know a truck is a large vehicle used for sending goods from one place to another.
Most people don’t know that we have the word truck in our vocabulary because of the word Trochos which means “wheel” in Greek.
Not surprisingly trucks have a huge effect on the condition of our roads. And because of their size it means roads get damaged. In the majority of countries with good quality roads trucks aren’t allowed to carry more than 50,000 kg.
Because of their size bug trucks emit a lot of smog and pollution. Any vehicle that weighs over 8 and a half thousand pounds is considered heavy duty.
According to government papers a truck is allowed to send out no more than that of twelve cars. But unfortunately some trucks are emitting a lot more than that.
Unsurprisingly well built up areas and cities suffer from big trucks the most. Because of their size and weight big trucks are dangerous to people in their much smaller cars when there is an accident.
Unfortunately a lot of people are frightened when they encounter trucks on the road because over 98% of collisions between cars and trucks end in death for the travellers in the car.
Because of their size trucks cause air turbulence that can either suck a car in under it’s wheels or push the car away. Either of these could could cause a very serious accident.
But what should help to put peoples minds at rest is that because these beasts are so huge the drivers are often trained very well and tests show that because of their training commercial truck drivers are actually the safest around.
And statistics also show that accidents involving trucks have gone down over 20% compared to 10 years ago.
