<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>I am merely saying that the studies I linked seem to accept the notion that the damage from trucks is exponentially greater than autos. </p> <p>... It does appear, however, that all of us who drive cars and pay taxes are heavily subsidizing the trucking industry.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I agree that studies show trucks do more damage to roads than cars or other lighter vehicles, and I have no problem believing that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the damage might go up exponentially with the weight of the vehicle as you say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">But where is the evidence that trucks are not paying for all of the damage they do, but instead are having part of that damage being paid for by a subsidy from car drivers? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
