Hey, maybe we should make a law to wrap all vehicles with pillows and make a 5mph speed limit. That will save lots of lives.

I agree, they don't want us on the road in in "their" way, but they do like the products we bring. It all basically boils down to money. It takes money to install it and that means there's extra weight on the trailer so there's less weight the company can haul. It also begins before people start their cars. Put down the cell phone, make up, drink, food, etc and PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Bye the way I see you're a Noles fan so I just gotta say GO GATORS! LOL:)

if you cant see the big ass of a truck and the hug sides of a truck, then you shouldnt be drivin a car at all.......like ffs ppl pay attention on the road

I am not a trucker, but i see many car vs. truck, and for some reason, the law, and the car drivers have no brains. Don't act like a fool around the trucks, and what do you have to worry about. all the videos here, show me the car was in the wrong. Why do we have to keep wasting money, to make stupid laws, to keep the stupid people alive. and I would like to see the Euro idea, tested with the conditions that you showed here in the states, 90 degree hits, faster speeds.
