Top Reasons Truckers At Fault Accidents. Before I write some of this article, let me start off by saying, car drivers cause more accidents than big trucks. But that’s not what this story is about. This is about, the main reason truckers are at fault when in an accident.
Statistics from the study indicate that trucks or truck drivers are more likely to cause a crash because of the trucker’s aggressive or inattentive driving or the vehicle’s failure.
Thats right, truck drivers cause accidents because they are not paying attention or they are driving aggressive. Reasons why a trucker drives aggressive are pressure to to get a load delivered on time. When a trucker feels he cant be late, he can start speeding and passing vehicle in an unprofessional and dangerous way. The end result many times is a wreck.
Roundabouts, who has the right a way
In a short answer truckers have the right a way when using a roundabout. When you see a vehicle over 40 foot long or ten foot wide, you must yield to the larger vehicle. This includes tractor-trailers, truck pulling a camper or a boat. Any vehicle that is over 40 foot.
