Kcm, there's people lobbying for underride guards down the sides of the trailers now. What really got it started this last time was a teenager was driving on a highway near where another road or highway went over or under the one he was driving on. He lost control of his car, (summer time, dry conditions) was driving pretty fast, slid up or down the embankment (I think it was up), and it was quite a ways too, and run underneath a semi trailer that was perpendicular to him on that cross road killing him.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
