Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Because you are Ron-MARS Trucking, enemy of the state, conspiracist, natural born cynic, mud-stirrer, CONSERVATIVE CONSTITUTIONALIST!

Do you want any more logical reasons? Just chiming in to offer support from "Gods country, California Northern Sector".

I'm a bit confused here. Rex are you saying that because the woman is on welfare that she's a liar and this incident didn't happen? So, the fact that she's on welfare automatically deems her less believable that say a farmer or truck driver? Isn't that a bit anti social equality thinking?

I think she is full of ####. I cross over into Quebec all the time in a 20 year old jeep. I have never been asked how much money I make. Until I see the other side of the story I am saying is it BS.

Maybe in some areas they still take your word for something (oh yes officer, I have insurance on this vehicle), but in most places they demand proof; an insurance card.

Yeah, I think she's probably embellishing her story in order to attempt a lawsuit and maybe game the system for a few bucks though.

I think chances are this is the last we'll ever hear of this story...

Rex, thank you for responding. I do agree with you that most places demand proof of insurance. In fact most places will ticket you without it and then excuse the ticket if you can provide the proof later.

However, my question was if you were basing your assumption of her lie on the fact that she's on welfare?

Yup...imagine that concept..a country that enforces its sovereignty...
Maybe Canada became tired of all of the hippie low-life draft-dodgers.....and now their offspring.......

IIRC...California anyways...people on welfare...simply can't afford a vehicle.....at least that's the theory anyways.....
