Sask. Bus Accident

[GordonH]

Justice system on this case is pretty well set & done, what happens to this fellow once deported is not in our hands.
What I would like to see happening is very stiff penalties to the owner of trucking company. For 1 major reason to send message throughout trucking industry, current practices need to stop.
Driver safety & training is paramount & the bs of pushing drivers past the point of exhaustion needs to stop as well.

I'm not in the industry so any truckers want weigh in please do so, if I am off base on my comments. Please correct were changes are needed.

the guy ignored 4 stop signs , and people believe him

Dude, I've been so tired that I no memory on how I got from the top of the smasher to Kelowna.
He didn't ignore the stop signs. One has to be alert enough to perceive something before one can choose to ignore it. He was looking right at the signs, but he didn't see them.

then you are no better than the driver that killed a bunch of people. you have simply been lucky and should not be on the road in any way, shape, or form.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement from any viewpoint.

ep we still want our fresh veggies fresh when they hit our stores but there are some things I don't mind paying a bit more for - especially if it makes us safer on the roads.

Y'know...the difference between having a person working 14 hours per day/70+hrs week and getting paid by the mile or by the trip, as opposed to having a person work 8 hrs/day 40 hours week and paid by the hour...is about 5 cents more on each 1 litre 10% cream to put it in perspective. More jobs, more safety, better health for the driver. Everybody gets their stuff. Yes, it is that simple.
Put me in charge of this industry nationwide...a$$es kicked and completely fixed by next Friday.

You are hired!

I suppose it was proven he doesn't have vision problems, reading problems etc, - something that could have prevented him from knowing what the signs actually said or meant? Of course that would be even more reason he shouldn't have been driving that truck but it might explain how he "didn't see" 5 (?) signs. Maybe he was so nervous behind he wheel he was just staring straight ahead and afraid to take his eyes off the road to read the signs....maybe he was so ill-trained on the truck he wasn't sure if he could get going again if he came to a complete stop - who knows...maybe he doesn't even know....dead tired and road fatigue....

What has been accomplished with all the traffic studies that have been done in BC other than a lot of talk ?

When those in 'power' think anybody can drive a truck as if there's nothing to it we won't see any change ?

did he not have about 50 or so infractions in 2 weeks leading up to this accident , he knew he should not of been driving, he murdered these soles , the last thing to was ,was an accident---imo--

Again the infractions I think were paperwork and your opinion is wrong based on the law.

Hardly - don't mistake our legal system with a justice system.
