I disagree. First off a 23 ton semi doing 85 is going to do a hell of a lot more damage than a 1 ton SUV doing 100. Second, the drivers aren't guaranteed to be any better than anyone else. That educated driver got lessons in how to back up with a trailer, how to tell when your trailer has passed the car so you can get back over, and how to handle the big truck. All that isn't gonna help a sleepy driver or one who's jacked up on coffee or speed. And third, semis are far from rare.
