Comment from a reader on Road Trains:
You see SBMA is suggesting put road trains on the SCTEX?
What the f...? The SCTEX, which is a short, modern highway, has already been the site of horrific fatal accidents due to poor regulation and excessive speeding. Now they want to put these colossal, difficult to manage road trains on the highway?
Overloaded, smoke belching trucks already clog the Tipo highway. Even in highly regulated countries such as Australia, road trains are considered too dangerous to use in anything but remote areas. And road trains aren't appropriate for short distances. In a country where truck drivers where flip flop sandals, road trains should not be introduced.
[The Subic Bulletin] We also are astonished by this announcement. We have long been saying that the Tipo Road is one of the most dangerous roads in The Philippines. Some weekends there are two or three accidents and there is about 1 runaway truck "jackknife" every week.
Even if the SCTEX was suitable for road trains TIPO IS NOT!
