SAFETY ROADS * USA - Troopers In Trucks
Alabama State Troopers agree, for the most part it's aggressive drivers around the trucks that are responsible for the messes
Birmingham,AL,USA -CBS 42 News, by Phillip Ohnemus -18 Dec 2008: -- ... And as Professional Truck Driver Chuck Hallmark points out the public is often too quick to blame the truck driver. "The stats say 8 out of 10 accidents are the cars fault. Yet we seem to get blamed for everything in the press"... As Trooper Charles Dysart explains that's why troopers are now stepping into the cab to help bring a stop to aggressive driving... But don't expect to be pulled over by a big rig, instead troopers riding shotgun will radio ahead and allow cruisers to make the stop... And Hallmark agrees the program will make roads safer. "If you can get a more even balanced reporting on what's going on out there, you'll see what we're going through"... And while Alabama State Troopers are doing all they can to target and eliminate aggressive driving, they can't do it alone. That's why they're asking drivers to utilize their cell phones to call "Star 4-7" and notify them when they see somebody who needs to be pulled over...
