Super Duty trucks famous for their amazing towing and hauling
capabilities, they are also one of the best-selling lines of pickups.

added a variety of exciting new trim and equipment levels to complement
their trucks. The

trucks are a common sight especially when we are driving along the
freeway. It can be noted also that an increasing amount of road
accidents are associated with trucks. The study conducted by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) regarding the leading cause of truck crashes today reveals that
over 32 percent of crashes where the truck was at fault were the result
of departing from the roadway or crossing over the lane line, making it
the single-largest cause of large truck injury and fatality crashes.
More so, the study found that 40 percent of the crashes are caused by
the driver’s distraction, fatigue and other physical ailments. Based
also to prior studies conducted by the FMCSA, the average cost of an
accident caused by a large truck involving fatalities is approximately
$3.4 million while the average cost of an accident involving injuries
was $217,000. To address these alarming situations, (AMEX:ITI), a leader in vision-based technologies and Intelligent Transportation Systems
that optimize traffic flow and enhance driver safety suggests the need
for putting active safety technologies especially to commercial trucks. Studies
regarding awareness and employing the necessary measures to counteract
crashes are being made by the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT)
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through the nationwide
study Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS). We
must support programs and take initiatives to prevent truck-related
road fatalities. One of the most important things to be considered
while on the road is to take the necessary precautions to make sure
that our safety and that of other motorists are not compromised.
Installing the necessary safety devices in our vehicles may cause us a
good amount of money but it is nothing compared to the many accidents
that can be prevented and lives that can be saved because of it. My
Ford Ranger may not be equipped with the latest technology but I make
sure it has the necessary safety devices and that it is well maintained
so as to avoid any hassles while on the road. Luckily, Ford Parts Online is just a click away for those much needed Ranger parts. |
