I tried to post the link, but not allowed until I am not a newbie anymore.

Look for it at MSNBC.com, there is video and a full length story on how scary it is that big trucks are on the road with drivers who have health problems.

Why is it the media has to come up with stories every so often to keep the motoring public scared of trucks?

And how come no one points out the hundreds of accidents we read about when a four-wheeler goes crashing into a market, or a restaurant, because the person either hit the wrong pedal or blacked out?

Just saying maybe they ought to crack down on docs how pass people with problems that shouldn't be driving, and maybe check D.L.'s and med cards at the ports?
 
probably b/c the one's creating the stories of the scary truck drivers are the dumbasses that were talking on the cell phone while putting on makeup, drinking coffee, surfing on the internet, and driving a 5 speed car and ended up following their gps voice directions straight over a cliff onto the top of a cop's car. they had to do something to cover that up from making headlines.
