Our Guardrails Need Help
When we think of our roads we tend to think of the tarmac or bridges but not what's next to them: guardrails. We hope to never meet one but Steve Eimers knows more about them than he ever wanted to. After his daughter passed away in a car accident he learned the culprit was a guardrail that was banned but hadn't yet been uninstalled yet. Ever since he has traveled the U.S. inspecting our roads and speaking with politicians about how to improve safety and save lives.
