Per the government records.
These are the stats for accident deaths of the occupants per vehicle type.
For the year 1990 and 2009.
The figures represent "Million" except for Buss.
Passenger: 24.1 ~ 13.1
Lite Trucks: 8.6 ~ 10.3
Large Trucks: .7 ~ .5
Buss: Z ~ Z
Z = less than 50
Albeit this is not how many accidents it is occupant deaths resulting as the result of an accident, but it sure DOES prove that the BUSS i.e Class A, Prevost driver is NOT the most dangerous driver on the road........They are the LEAST dangerous vehicle on the road.
IMHO you'all that want CDL's to be a requirement?
Start rallying for Lite Truck drivers to have a CDL judging from the 'increase' of accidents resulting in deaths in a Lite Truck. :B
Let's see........
passenger car deaths 24.1 MILLION
Large Truck deaths .07 MILLION
Buss - LESS than 50
If, as the OP states that EVERY single RV driver on the road in a coach type vehicle is an accident waiting to happen? I'm thinkin there would be more than 'less than 50' accident fatalities PER YEAR involving the buss type RV.
