Not from what I've seen. Drivers of a semi have a less chance of surviving than someone in a car. Semi cabs are being made more and more cheap every day. Plastic is taking over the majority of them. Even the bumpers are plastic on a lot of them now.

I'd rather see a honda civic doing flips than an 18 wheeler mowing down a how line of vehicles.

"Everyone" isn't a fucking criminal.




Despite the mass and their sheer size, they actually represent a very tiny percentage of all accidents, considering miles traveled.

I'm a criminal every day. Trip's an outlaw in shitville with their laws against sex toys.

No, I trust the ability of the semi driver over most any car driver ANYDAY. Did you see the asshole other vehicle pull in front of the semi in the first video?

It still means that semi can kill you. But, in a battle of civic vs semi - law of gross tonnage means that civic will lose. So, maybe that civic should leave the semi the fuck alone...

I don't, the Semi's that come through here drive like fucking idiots just as much as the normal person. They only problem with that, is they have a vehicle that demolishes others.

Semi's hastily pulling in front of me when they have little to no room, so they can get in the passing lane and hold up traffic is a daily occurence.

I have worked along side a lot of individuals who have their commercial license, no way in hell I would trust them over anyone else. Too many of them have this "I rule the road" complex.

Of course, the only major automobile incident I have been in was when a Semi plowed into me in freakin bumper to bumper traffic.
