Ian Brossat, a former Paris councillor and now a senator representing the French Communist party, called for SUVs to be banned in Paris. “This is not the first incident of its kind, and the dangerous nature of SUVs has already been pointed out on several occasions. We owe it to this young man to realise the scale of the problem and draw all the consequences,” Brossat told the Nouvel Obs.

    Ours drive grain to large silos which are usually built next to railroad tracks. There are very small towns that exist only because of the grain silo. The trucks are common enough that you see them on highways and in town. I usually try to stay away from them because they don’t take care of them very well. I’ve seen them with completely bald tires.
