Can anybody explain why there are so many truck crashes these days and it can't just be due to an increased number of them. Trucks ending up in Lake Taupo, trucks losing ther trailers , trucks driving off the road and trucks colliding with other road users.
I definitely note a marked reduction in the number of courteous truck drivers on the roads, but that also applies to other vehicle drivers also.. Wondering whether it is something to do with the shortage of truck drivers leading to a reduction in competence levels with a push to fill vacancies.
