Where to begin ?
Lots of kids driving trucks, and lots of people who don't know how to drive are driving trucks. More and more trucks on the roads. Roads are worse and worse because of trucks. Trucks are overloaded and a lot of them have faulty brakes.

Authorities said a while back that they are cracking down on overloaded trucks and drivers with no license. Then they forget, and meanwhile, accidents happen and people get killed. :(
