I think @James is suggesting that the use of ‘Stinger’ strips might prevent tragic and avoidable confrontations such as this in the future

I hope that wasn’t some sort of justification. Smart enough to avoid spikes but not to run over someone who is simply carrying out his job(who may have also been not getting enough sleep, irritable, or even worry about losing their job for being caught not doing it!)

If they had a 1 meter section of spike strip right there at the toll gate, the guard could just flop it down on one side of the toll gate and he wouldn’t have to stand in front of the truck.

Many of those truck drivers are not getting enough sleep, they’re irritable, they’re driving trucks overloaded by the factory, and they’ll lose money or even lose their job for being caught.

But almost all of them would be smart enough not to destroy their tires by driving over a spike strip.
