"«Ontaiio doos not and will not teleratè unsafe drivers or vehi- clos on our highways. People are dying and it has te setop." Amïong the new measures are the. following: *higher fines for trucking safety infractions- *more mobile enforcement units te ý target trucks that byrassa inspection stations; aformaI rating program that wiltell the general public, in- surers and shippers the safety record of carriers; * identification of carriers whose vehicles are taken out 'of service and who are penalized for poor safety performance; *earlfir intervention when carrier aft records show pro- blems; fewer warnings and stronger sanctions, inchiding suspending or cancelling a car- rier or fleet licence. Although pleased with the measures, Progrespive Conserva- tive transportation critic David Turnbull scolded the government for waiting so -long. The.'York >4lls MPP pointed out that most of the program stems from recommendations made by ajoint government- industiy task-force which Isat met in 1993. «Heère we are in 1995 and because of some tragic deaths, the- ministor i. now acting,» Turftbull teld the Free Pross.- "Wiiy has it taken the govern- ment so lon g te move?» 1Among the measures welco- med, by Turnbull is a mandaterv 18-hour training course for truc drivers who adjust air brakes. "Over and over wre findinir air brakes te b. the mst serioui problem. Seventy-elght per cent of out-of-service sitations are due te air brakes,» h. said. While it is too early te doeter- mine the exact cause of the truck wheel accdents, said Turnbull h. felt dloser inspection of wheel maintenance may be necessary.. '?he majority of all wheels are replaced by service 'companies. Veryý few trucking companies replace their- own wheels, » he '1Often the service companles don't have the proper eqMmment ttighten themi and thiee sup- posed te take the truck out on the road for 'a little spin after tightening the wheels. Àlthough critical of the govern- ment for moving too, slowljy on the tank foroe recommendations, Turnbull could not fault it on thé' overail safety issue. Mont of the truck accidents in Ontario involve rigsfo outaide the province, he saiîd.o "Isknown that 'our fiafety checks are the teughest in North America.
