OOIDA peddling side underride fiction again. It's time to correct trucking industry falsehoods with facts! Congress, use real data to protect the traveling public from side underride collisions.

Side underride guards are required on every truck in Bali to protect Vulnerable Road Users from the “kill zone”. Shockingly, the U.S. Department of Transportation nhtsagov have avoided any similar regs that could save hundreds of lives every year. #STOPunderrides Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure

If you aren't driving a car, nhtsagov ignores these tragic side underride crashes that would be preventable with side guards on trailers. fox6now.com/news/bicyclist… storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ee8a70…

Agreed! “Underride guard requirements: Mandate side and rear underride guards on all commercial trailers to reduce fatality risk in collisions.” freightwaves.com/news/fatal-flo…
