It was reported that the trailer truck’s brakes failed, and the driver lost control of the vehicle. Transport regulators propose a 15-year age limit to trucks. This is the same group that opposes age limits for trucks. They should acknowledge that a situation of no age limits for trucks is untenable and irresponsible, given the fact that many of these trailer trucks are hand-me-downs from other countries such as Japan. If Japan deems trucks disposable after 10 years, then a reasonable age limit should be imposed here as well.
