Highway to hell
April 10, 2005

Highway fears.
If you're like us, just the thought of a huge semi looming up ahead on the highway is unnerving. And there's every reason to be wary, even downright scared. It's a fact that most truckies break the rules. They speed, they're doped to the eyeballs, they drive till they drop. And their bosses not only allow this lawlessness, many expect it. During the course of this investigation, we tailed one driver, who was at the wheel for 22 solid hours. That's illegal and so were the speeds he clocked up. So you really have to ask how many more innocent people have to die before these blokes get the message.
