Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is more of a safety suggestion than a complaint. i don't know if this is the proper forum. as a sales rep, i drive about 50,000 miles a year. i have noticed the "whiskers", a sort of fringe around the trailers of ups tractor trailers. these "whiskers" keep the road water from blowing around and blinding other vehicles beside and behind them. these are so effective, i wonder why they are not made mandatory for all trucks. ups is to be commended for this apparently, voluntary safety enhancement. i suggest that this safety feature should be mandatory on trucks. *jb
