The reporter asked Ed Crowell, president of the Georgia Motor Trucking Association, why we have so many bad drivers. I wish Crowell would take up the subject with his own folks. Truckers must have somebody up there taking care of them, or else you would occasionally see one getting a ticket. The death and destruction on the roads can easily be curtailed. All we need to do is enforce the laws.
Some states do.
The excuse we get is that other states have more enforcement officers on their roads. According to the newspaper story, Georgia has only 825 compared with North Carolina's 1,445 and South Carolina's 981. Somebody found a lot of pork to pass around on the flag change, not to mention the tobacco windfall. The sad truth is we seem more interested in saving trees than saving lives. And we won't come up with pocket change to stop people from killing each other on the highway.
