Bottlenecks - The Invisible Truck Accidents

In the news recently a number of truck drivers have decided to protest diesel fuel prices by purposely driving slow on the highway. The purpose of this is to aggravate people so that action against oil companies will be taken. This is a very foolish thing to do because purposes violating the law and creating bottlenecks on the road opens one to a host of liabilities. For example, what happens if an ambulance can not get a critically injured patient to the emergency room in time? Yes, the truck driver responsible for the slow down can be held liable not to mention the inhumanity of imposing such pain and suffering on someone who was not responsible for the actions being protested.
