Left to their own devices, a lot of trucking companies will cut corners on safety to enhance their profits. Driver safety truckers who aren t exhausted by driving beyond the legal limits and their own personal limits. Sleepy drivers should not be controlling many tons of hurtling steel in the lane beside you. Safe designs roads that are designed for their speed limits that can accommodate the traffic they are asked to carry. Safe signage road signs that are clear and make their point quickly so drivers get the information without taking their eyes off the road and traffic for more than a flash.

Public accountability and public enforcement of standards are our best guarantee of safe roads. Public services are less susceptible to corruption and bribery, both of which are regular temptations to the ministry s enforcement and examination staff. Public services aren t trying to squeeze a profit out of the operation. If the job needs doing, it gets done. There is no incentive to cut corners to satisfy the shareholders.
