Looks like another one of the tools for big brother at work here. OnStar is probably the most poopular vehicle based GPS transmitter, Ford Sync (with TDI) is another. Most GPS systems are receivers only, but if you can access traffic data and make calls, etc, they have a way of seeing you. I am sure a lot if it has to do with smart phones too.
Based on my experience, if accidents alone were used (instead of fatalities), I'd rank Dallas, Atlanta and Houston in the top three. Of course DOT agencies continue to regulate the hell out of the trucking industry yet give a pass to every jackwad driving a car. If they were serious about safety they'd be having fourwheelers coming into weigh/inspection stations and let us truckers cruise on past. They'd make a killing in revenue/fines. But the government isn't serious about safety. It's all about $$$ so they go after trucking instead.
Every workday I do my part to help that ranking on highway 33 :-) :-)
Must go faster, must go faster.
Must go faster, must go faster.
That is what I was thinking......
Between Cushing and Guthrie it is a moron fest. People driving 50 is the norm. I hate that stretch of road.
I thought it interesting that none were interstates. I love these "studies", packed chock-full of exciting statistics. No doubt y'all have heard the saying: "There's lies, damn lies, and then statisitics."
I'm sure Dutch is aware of how media reports accidents involving POV vs Semi. They report it without including who was at fault, and in most cases, it's the POV driver at fault.

Guess they didn't drive I-35 north or south of OKC.
