The roads of Texas are very busy and there is a disproportionate number of truck and 18-wheelers on the roads. There are some stretches of highway where accidents are more common because of the large numbers of truck traveling on them. These gigantic vehicles weigh more than 5 tons and any car or motorcycle that is involved in a collision with one of them simply does not stand a chance. There is possibility of driver fatalities in cars that collide head on with these vehicles, especially if they are travelling at a very high speed. Even if there is no fatality, there is a very high chance the accident results in terrible injury to the driver of the smaller vehicle.

An 18-wheeler is meant to be driven by a person who is well trained for the job because these huge trucks are hard to maneuver. However, the sad truth is that many people who drive these large vehicles do not have sufficient skills or training but are merely doing a job. There are also many guidelines concerning how these vehicles should be driven on the roads. Many drivers simply avoid the rules and drive negligently because they are in a hurry to get to their destination. In addition, they might be tempted not to properly yield to other vehicles because of their large size and evident strength.
