Commentary:
You may assume that just because a vehicle is labelled as a ‘commercial vehicle’, that it is part of some trucking conglomerate’s fleet of thousands, which is actually not the case with many of these accidents. A large portion of these commercial vehicles are the only one the business owns, construction trucks, plumbing vans, etc. In many of these small business operations, these vehicles are the only one in the stable, and as a result, necessary repairs are delayed, which only passes off the cost onto the victims in accidents.
