“Safety theatre” (for that’s what it surely is) makes all parties feel good while disguising the real issue: how to train drivers to use the new technologies without compromising safety.

I would like to congratulate you on identifying and writing about what I believe to be the most important driver safety topic but is in most cases overlooked in our industry.

Over the past 36 years in business there have been so many times I have been helped by other drivers, both truck and automobile, that I can’t possibly drive past someone in need.
