Drivers' Demand - Canada - Trucks need to see light
Regina,Saskatchewan,Canada -Regina Leader/Post, by Robert R. Hepting - 16 Sept 2006: -- On Sept.9, the Leader-Post's Weekender had several articles about Saskatchewan transportation. One was entitled, "Share the road safety with trucks"... My question is, why are so many trucks sharing our roads without daytime running lights?... Last winter, I was southbound on Lewvan Drive at the Trans-Canada Highway waiting for a traffic break, before turning east onto the highway. It was a snowy day making it hard to see oncoming traffic, especially the ones without running lights. Lo and behold, just as I was thinking of crossing the westbound lane, a white truck boomed out of the snow without lights. I thought, "What an idiot." Driving a white semi in snow without lights. I started to watch for trucks on the Ring Road and feel only about 20 per cent of semi-trailer trucks appear to use daytime lights. Why?... Until I see every semi-trailer truck traversing this province with their headlights on, please do not bring me more stories like, "Trucking industry overhauling image." What I want to see is the headline, "Every truck now using daytime lights"...
