An Examination of Fault, Unsafe Driving Acts, and Total Harm in Car-Truck Collisions
The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has released a summary report on a study that found driver, vehicle, and roadway safety programs for truck drivers should address backing, rear-end, right- and left-turn, and sideswipe collisions, because, according to the study, truck drivers are more likely to be at fault in such crashes. In addition, the study suggests that similar safety programs for car drivers should focus on head-on and angle collisions.
