Yes I agree Tony, one small problem amongst others,
drivers under 25 years old do a pretty good job of
killing themselves without any help from trucks.  
Thats why dills like me, pay big dollars for third
party and comprehensive on my run of the mill Aussie
motor car.

Environment, how long is a piece of string.?
Even without the trucks, are you advising the millions
of Australian motorists too stop using their cars.?

different people.

Problem is, the money keeps on pouring in from the
roads and the users.  
No good of telling me, give it to the pollies.
