Monster trucks

Monster Trucks Are A Hazard
Monster trucks are becoming an increasing hazard on the roadway. Twin-trailer trucks are two to three times more likely to be involved in collisions than are standard trucks. These trucks can be more than 100 feet long. At that length, they become inherently unstable. They are increasingly subject to jackknifing and rollover. They are slower on acceleration which thereby delays traffic, in particular going uphill and when merging. They are subject to increased side to side movement in heavy wind conditions. On wet roads they effectively create a splash effect that travel in parallel lanes is almost impossible.
