Good luck.

It seems Canada rejected mandatory side guards after a coroner's report recommended them.

I hadn't realized it because almost all trucks I see in Ontario have them.

@EricLawton @glightly That's sad that Canada doesn't require them. I'm hoping NHTSA will.

@ryanvgates Will only get worse with self-driving semi-trucks. Where are we headed?
