Crash results
Didn’t have to wait long for the reason to stage 3 big truck crashes.
Change may soon catch up with Ontario’s trucking industry.
Last week’s deadly 14-vehicle Hwy. 400 crash, near Bradford — in which two fuel tanker trucks acted as “bombs on wheels” — has triggered calls for the mandatory installation of emergency braking systems for all new trucks exceeding 3,500 kilograms, as the European Union did in 2012.

All #hrdpar are to set the table for new laws and regulations. It’s stagecraft for legislation.

Did you read the last paragraph about also stopping “terrorist attacks”, Ab?
Terrorists have turned trucks into weapons — as witnessed most recently by last Tuesday’s attack on a New York bike path that killed eight people and injured a dozen others.
An investigation by a German newspaper and two radio stations found that the death toll from a 2016 semi-trailer attack on a Berlin Christmas market that left 12 people dead could have been much worse had the automatic braking system not stopped the vehicle after 70 metres
LOL!
I didn’t read it, but everything can be much worse! Thanks for following my savechat!
