If they can make seat belts mandatory, there is no reason they can't pass this bill. #Stopunderrides

It'll never ever happen. If this was an option trucks would not stand at 13'6 they would be lowered but they need to be operational. Sorry about the loss of life but a trailer needs to be functional. A side guard would look good but serves no protective purpose.

So which side do you plan to extort for donations on this proposal? The car industry, or the truck industry or both. We know why these bills never go anywhere, they aren't intended to do anything but put $$ in your pocket.

Weren't the Dems the ones that wrote the bills that required the car companies to get the emissions down and MPG up? How did you think that would happen, any engineers in DC to give advice? All cars are death traps now, drive safely. Another Liberal unintended consequence.

The best policy to prevent this is educating car drivers how to drive around a truck. They have no idea they are 80k lbs. side guards can't happen because they'll get hung up on everything and sides need to flex to get into docks. Stay out of the way near trucks.

You realize that most of the time !! That these would make NO DIFFERENCE ! As if they hit the trailer fast enough to kill themselves , all the undersides do are tear up more of the car!Look at some actual real wrecks ! Then quit trying to pass FEEL GOOD LAWS ! To get re-elected

How about a ban on assault rifles. More folks killed by them than trucks.

How about a ban on hammers? More people killed with blunt instruments than all types of firearms combined. How about doctors? They kill more people than through medical mistakes than felony murderers.

How are you going to deal with Trump firing Mueller? I'll hang up and wait for your surely ineffective answer

It would have been much easier to move this and other consumer protection legislation through the Senate if Al Franken had not resigned. Its tragic. The accusation against Al pale in comparison to those against Trump and many others.

That remark sounded like trump logic. I think Al Franken was a great senator, but he doesn't have a right to sexually assault or harass women. It's his fault, not the victims.
