It is difficult to overstate the risk created by tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles on the road. Weighing as much as 80,000 pounds and travelling at highway speeds, the physics of 18-wheelers can make them very difficult to effectively brake or steer, especially if emergency maneuvers are needed. If a semi loses control and causes or is involved in an accident, the level of injuries that are suffered by those in other vehicles is very often devastating or fatal.
