Title: Crash Reports-Where are they?
Post by: CROSSBOLT on November 29, 2015, 10:18:57 PM
Some communities realize that others may benefit from misfortune. The aviation community is a good example. Crashes are investigated and the results analyzed by competent people. The results are published, read by some and some actually change their habits to avoid hazards and pitfalls. Shipwreck analysis is  another area that make the deaths involved in catastrophes count for something positive. You get the idea, I am sure.

Where is the equivalent for road travelers? I have looked since I was a student driver in high school to no avail. It would make sense to have a periodical report of crashes and at least someone's opinion as to what should have been done different. I welcome being pointed in a direction I missed before.

  Karl if you can get into a DOT library, you will be surprized,. air craft, boats, cars, trucks ,and new ideas for all makes and models,  tests on every-thing, and they don't tell anyone what they have,.     they had open house once in a while,    don't know what it is like now,.
