This is a joke none of them have any miles behind them.
The safest ones never get recognized due to their ability to keep helping keep the roads safe.
Teaching others how to make it safer and showing others how not to make the same mistake twice is safety. Not sitting at a desk and thinking you are helping someone.
Putting over 5 million miles on in every weather you can think of and being proactive to all hazards that is safety to teach others. There are many of us out on the road that don’t care about the glory but care about today tomorrow and the future, to keep all safe.
