All to often trucking accidents involve drivers who are operating an eighteen wheeler on inadequate rest or are carrying a load that exceeds capacity regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is in the final stages of two related truck rules: to limit service to 10 consecutive hours and to require trucks to convert to electronic on-board recorders to keep tabs on the hours driven continuously. The Truck Safety Coalition is pushing for quick approval of the rules, while the trucking industry supports the on-board recorders but not changing the driving limits.
Joan Claybrook, a consumer activist, stated that ”every year about 4,000 people needlessly die on our highways and 100,000 more are injured in truck crashes.” “Families and truck drivers are being slaughtered on our highways because of the trucking industry’s relentless push for bigger, overweight trucks operated by drivers who are exhausted and pressured to meet unreasonable delivery deadlines.”

A new bill has currently been passed through the Senate Transportation Committee and will now be debated on the floor that could allow anyone over 21 to not have to wear helmet while on a motorcycle.
Advocates who are pushing the bill are saying that a helmet is a burden when riding because it takes away from the feeling of freedom while riding and also may affect their hearing while driving. The current law in Missouri states that all drivers and passengers on a motorcycle must wear a helmet.
If you or a loved one has been injured while riding on a motorcycle, you need representation that may be able to help you receive compensation for your pain and suffering. Contact the motor vehicle accident lawyers Springfield of Strong, Garner, Bauer by calling 417-887-4300 today.
