Training in emergency driving urged by NTSB
The National Transportation Safety Board urged formal emergency driving training for all new truck and bus drivers and faster federal research on safer highway median barriers. The recommendations followed a 1973 New Jersey Turnpike crash that killed 9 and injured 11, caused by a tire blowout and a truck crossing the median. The board noted seat belt use may have reduced control loss and called for mandatory training in emergencies like tire failure and jackknifing, while stressing current guardrails are insufficient to restrain heavy vehicles.
