Trapped Under Trucks
>An investigator with the local police department blamed the collision on the truck driver, who was initially charged with negligent homicide, though charges were eventually dropped<p>I wonder why.<p>Another issue is the size of trucks.  The state where I lived:<p>* Truck size was limited, large trucks were only allowed on one Highway.  Goods were transferred to smaller Trucks for transport to factories.<p>* Driving trucks on Sundays was not allowed.<p>* Large Trucks were not allowed on City Streets.  Since this happened it is open season on bicycle riders.<p>Reagan de-regulated and Trucks can be any size, plus they can clog the roads on Sunday.  The last item I do not know when it was enabled, but it happened after Reagan.<p>I now heard of trucks with 3 trailers but never saw one.  I think it is about time we limit sizes to what existed on the 60s.  If you need 3 trailers, time to go back to freight trains.
