Most Americans don't slow down for garbage trucks, putting sanitation workers at risk: survey

摘要

Washington - A recent survey from the National Waste & Recycling Association revealed that two-thirds of motorists do not slow down around garbage trucks, and almost 4 out of 10 drivers admit they feel tempted to speed past the vehicles. The findings highlight the potentially life-threatening hazards that sanitation workers face on a daily basis, NWRA said. The organization commissioned the study, which was conducted by Harris Poll and included more than 2,000 respondents 18 and older.
