With trucks on our highways, the size of the vehicle makes it difficult to see traffic signals, roadways signs and across lines of traffic. Take for instance a truck that as you follow, it blocks the view of the overhead interstate or turnpike sign and you don't see the sign timely. That would cause a driver to react to a lane change where had the driver seen the sign, they could have reacted calmly. I also have concerns with the amount of roadway noise that comes from the trucks. There needs to be a better way of silencing the engine, intake and exhaust. Also the horns are much louder than the typical automobile and will scare many drivers. It is my opinion that we need a solution to what may be an unsafe situation.
