Heavy truck and bus still need stronger safety regulations

Tour buses carry more than 750 million passengers per year, and big rigs and semi truck carrying millions of dollars were. But with fatalities and serious injuries, which is still on the highways, there is a greater need than ever security education and laws in these industries. Recently, travel the national transportation and Safety Board (NTSB), the truck & bus safety gave Forum to address security issues on commercial vehicles.

The Forum presentations "advocates a comprehensive approach to security, a more robust system carrier supervision, active management of driver fatigue and adoption of safety management systems", said Robert Sumwalt, Board member of the NTSB.

Also leads the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study designed to prevent that truck rollover and implementation of crash avoidance systems. A large percentage of all trucks accidents make rollovers and loss of-control crashes. Stability control systems at least 28 percent of rollover and loss of-control crashes could reduce the NHTSA says. The NHTSA studies will identify also security technologies, which will warn drivers of impending collisions and automatically brakes or slow the vehicle. The NHTSA supported in omnibus bills, the lap and shoulder seat belts.

Many of the measures to go along with the Department of transportation (DOT) Motorcoach safety plan, but that feels hard to some slow actions implement. "Even where the DOT specific dates for some tasks, such as initiating Rulemaking require electronic recording devices on omnibus, it has taken is still not completed this new, important security efforts delayed the further implementation," said U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D - NJ).

The point is spot checks are omnibus implementation this summer and also Congress for zero tolerance policy DOT asks entitled, take dangerous bus driver from the road type. DOT has launched also a new bus-carrier information Web site, so that drivers of the carrier's history prior to the trip can check security. It shows the carrier and driver history of uncertain and fatigued driving, substance and alcohol violations and vehicle maintenance records.

3,436 Deaths were caused by large trucks and buses in 2009 records latest according to the NHTSA.
