Secret Service??? I thought they only did two things: executive protection and counterfeiting.
My suspicion is if there is something really fishy going on, we will hear zip about it.
February 26th, 2008 at 12:08 pmThey noted on the screen that Trucks are involved in 11% of all Fatal accidents and that Trucks make up only 4% of registered vehicles, Which means that a Truck is nearly 3 times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident…
What they didn’t mention was that nearly 75% of those accidents are found to be the fault of passenger vehicles, which means Passenger vehicles are nearly 3 times more likely to be the cause of fatal Truck involved accidents, Which figures out to Truck drivers being at Fault in only 3% of all Fatal accidents even though they represent 4% of all registered vehicles, which means Truck drivers are 25% less likely to cause a Fatal accident…
Truck drivers average about 155,000 miles per year (168,000 is the max) compared to the average Passenger vehicles 11,000 miles per year, That’s over 14 times more miles per year!
Just wanted to get the facts straight!
