Drivers Tailgating Car Carriers a Problem?

Car transportation professionals who think that texting while operating a car carrier is one of the most distracting activities a driver can do might want to rethink this idea if the latest study by a San Diego-based firm that manufactures driver-monitoring systems is right. In fact, if you're guilty of reading text while driving, you're only guilty of breaking the fourth commandment of transport trucking, according to the lastest study. This latest study also seems to indicate that activities like texting and talking on a cell phone might not be involved in as large a percentage of the crashes involving transport vehicles. This might come as a surprise to many car shipping professionals considering the attention regulators have paid to drivers using cell phones and texting and it wouldn't be surprising if they thoughts that driving while distracted would be involved in a large percentage of accidents.

What activity did this latest study find was involved in the greatest number of accidents involving transport vehicles? According to this study by DriveCam Inc. the latest data indicates that tailgating was responsible for about 27 percent of the accidents occurring on the roads of America involving a transport vehicle. This problem might not surprise many drivers of the vehicle transports on the roads of America who have to deal with commuters getting to close to their vehicle on a daily basis? Commuters or transports tailgating vehicles moving down the highways of America is certainly going to be of concern to the government agencies tasked with making the roads as safe as possible for all users. If the data turns out to be verifiable and correct than we can certainly at least expect the Federal transport authorities to take a look at the problem in the months ahead. It will take some time to check the data and the way it was collected, before we can say anything concrete about this latest study. For now, we'll just say that this latest study looks interesting, but it seems to indicate something that goes against logic?
