MILE MARKER #64
The Nevada Department of Public Safety received a grant for nearly $500,000 for the "Badge On Board" program. A program in which a highway patrol trooper rides shotgun with a trucker to monitor careless and dangerous behavior among drivers of cars and other trucks.
In 2006, there were forty-three fatal accidents involving trucks and cars in Nevada, and more than five-hundred non-fatal accidents. The death rate for drivers and passengers in cars is 75% higher.
The University of Nevada, Reno will conduct a study to determine the effectiveness of the campaign, and will feature commercials and billboards.
I believe that this is an excellent program, and I also think that there should be a bigger section of Driver's Education on sharing the road with trucks. Bravo. A great start.

There should be a bigger portion of the education of truckers dealing with sharing the road with CARS. We've had enough of you outlaw bullies killing innocent car drivers.
If you did your research before popping off anonymously, you'd find out that most truck/car accidents are mostly caused by driver error from the car drivers.I don't make the facts, I'm just reporting them. I'd rather drive with any truck driver on the road rather than with you. There are bad people in evey profession. Yes, yours also, and I don't even know what it is, because you chose to be anonymous. Figures.
