ATA: CRASH preparing attack on trucking
ALEXANDRIA, Va.,USA —The Trucker -15 AUG 2005: -- The so-called CRASH Foundation, funded by trial lawyers and other known trucking opponents, is preparing for another attack on trucking’s improving safety record, according to the American Trucking Associations... The self-styled “safety organization” has issued a request for tainted accident information that will likely be used to misrepresent the role of fatigue in car-truck-related accidents... CRASH will ignore data from the American Transportation Research Institute indicating that motor carriers, operating under the current Hours of Service rule in all of 2004 posted lower recordable accident rates and lower injury rates per million miles. The data, which represents more than 100,000 drivers operating more than 10.5 billion fuel tax miles, showed recordable accidents per million miles fell to 0.68 in 2004 from 0.71 a year earlier. The total injury rate, meanwhile, declined to 0.94 injuries per million miles from 1.07 injuries per million miles in 2003...
