You might think that, because of their slow speed, your life is not at risk during a waste management accident. However, this is not always the case. Your everyday passenger vehicle is simply no match for a garbage truck. In almost every scenario, the passenger vehicle suffers more damage than the waste management truck. Many times, garbage trucks face rear-end collisions due to their abnormal driving patterns. They make frequent stops while on the job, and if a driver is distracted for even a second, they risk a waste management accident. Additionally, these trucks are very large, and often heavy. Their structure does not allow for operation and movement that is as smooth as a passenger vehicle. These trucks offer poor visibility, many blind spots, and slower stopping speeds. Many passenger vehicle drivers attempt to pass garbage trucks due to their slow movement and frequent stopping. Unfortunately, many collisions occur from this.
