I understand that trucks need to be louder and more powerful to haul cargo... but wait, screw what I just said. In Victoria we used to use Trains. Trains are efficient, with low environmental impact, and are not dangerous to road users (well except retarded ones). But some study or other (probably funded by Lindsy Fox) found that using Semitrailers instead would be cheaper for everyone involved. Of course, when they did this study they didn't take into account the cost of repairing the roads that the trucks drive on, whereas they DID include the full cost of maintaining the railway lines (and I'm sure they did many other tricky things like that). Anyway, the Vic government gave the go ahead and now we have all these dirty loud dangerous semi-trailers hooning about killing people.

And then the Police get upset when someone squeals their tires a little bit, or has a air venting Blow of Valve (I have never EVER heard a BOV that was louder than the air breaks - or whatever they are - on those semitrailers). Bah I say... BAH!

Fuck it, put us all on Ethanol/Methanol then we wont have to worry about air pollution (just noise pollution). Then bring back freight Trains!

How many people get killed every year by trucks?
How many people get killed every year in street drags? I think you will find that trucks cause more fatalities, even though illegal drag racing can attract a lot of people who shouldn't be allowed out in public let alone behind the wheel of a car.
... I don't really know what that has to do with anything, but I'm tired... so yeah.

I think I'll stop now before my eyeballs roll out onto the floor and my brain seeps out the new holes in my face.
