Dear Editor,
Isn’t there a law on when trailer trucks and heavy equipment can use the public road to transport cargo and other hazardous materials? If the answer to this question is the affirmative, then why is it that for months now, the population has witnessed these vehicles travelling at all hours of the day?
Not too long ago, it was just one or two trailer trucks and a couple of huge trucks, taking a chance (it appeared) to finish up the day’s work or trying to hustle before the traffic built up in the morning. Now, there are so many of them traversing the road whenever the drivers feel like doing so, and without any ounce of fear, because of their size.
Has the population noticed that these trucks are getting bigger and bigger? No wonder the roads are constantly screaming for repairs. But the scary part of it is that these drivers drive so fast and we all know that these hydraulic vehicles do not brake right away, if any driver is forced to stop immediately. The question is: Who will be held responsible for destroying someone’s property or more seriously, taking someone’s life?
This is justice week and so I’m kindly asking the relevant authorities to look into this matter as soon as possible, so that this conduct does not result in a situation that becomes regretful.
