The major cause of accidents are driving too fast for road conditions, road rage, not paying attention and just plain lack of skill. Driving school is a joke. They should be teaching "Big rig etiquette" Right or wrong tangle with a big rig and you lose. Period. I haven't had a ticket in over 20 years and have never had an accident that wasn't me getting rear ended by someone NOT paying attention. I drive for a living and get cut off and have inattentive morons pull out in front of me everyday. I learned to just shrug it off and not stress over it.
