It’s so very sad so many drivers losing their life whilst doing their job.

[zb] sake. 41 is far far to much!!!

Is it my imagination or has there been a rise in the number of truck drivers killed or being seriously injured in recent years? 41 is an horrendous figure in this day and age.

I could not have put it any better myself!
RIP to those now plying their trade on a different highway.

Be safe out there guys and girls.

R.I.P to the Drivers

Have you guys noticed the age’s of some of the drivers, not that it matters.

[thrustmaster]

41 drivers who set out to do just another ordinary day’s graft…and never made it home.

[bjd]

As has been said , far to many ! R I P and lets stay safe guys n girls

[altitude]

Makes you think when you see a list like that. R I P

Makes you think when you see a list like that. R I P

Especially when you consider only 49 drivers have died in F1 in 60 years, considering the risks they took and all the h&s rules we put up with today.

[darren1000]

This posts really bring it home, RIP to all and hope there friends and family can move on. If this was any other industry something would be done. Don’t let the system push you too hard. If you can’t get there it doesn’t matter.

[nsmith1180]

RIP Drivers. Such a shame.

Well done to the OP for remembering the list. Only when it is listed like that does it really hit you.
