there  are quite  some labour  issues  involved behind  this issue,  a
recent documentary shown on  italian television (Report) has shown the
connection between  mortality rate of  people in street  accidents and
the  common behavior  of truck  drivers  to run  longer shifts  (while
recording different timings) because  the goods would be undeliverable
otherwise.
