that dumptrucks are the most dangerous vehicles on the roads?

Yes. I blame Obama.

Probably, though I'm more scared of log trucks and fuel trucks and trucks carrying radioactive material.

But dump trucks are always dirty and dropping gravel and dirt onto the roads and your windshield.

Yes, mainly when they throw a rock into your windshield. Whenever I see one, I put at least 500 meters between me and it.

Generally poor visibility, dangerously high load capacity, and enough power to easily travel on the highway? Only two of those boxes should be allowed to be checked.

Lets not even talk about the windshield casualty count these things cause on a yearly basis.

I've been in a car that's had windows explode, and had rocks ding the windshield pretty badly. Generally terrifying experience.

I get around them as quickly as I can or stay way back.

I drove an articulated Terex dump truck with a Cummins that was straight piped through a 4" stack. It sounded godly.

Yes, esp. when they travel in convoys.

Here in Seattle I truly believe the worst drivers are the mass transit Metro bus drivers. They jump in and out of traffic with no signal and you HAVE to yield to them based on a RCW the state passed. They let their long ass hang out so you can't get around.

Ever drive down here in Olympia? They do all that plus they are INSTRUCTED to use the center of a two-lane road. Straddling both lanes.

Yup. Why do I miss a light when your articulated ass needs two lanes to get around a corner? I've seen plenty of Metro drivers thread the needle. At least with a dumper you can back off or get around. Buses create more rage because once you get around one there are seven more in front of you. No wonder Metro is broke and looking for handouts.

I love the placards they display that say "Not responsible for broken windshields". Guess what pal, you are cause you are responsible to secure your load and that includes making sure nothing can fall off at any time.
