Anybody witness the fiery crash in Denver involving a trucker?

I think his best defense is that he was woefully ignorant and way to inexperienced and under trained to be placed in that situation and that he felt pressure to do what he was told for fear of losing his green card. All of which would likely be true

 

Just wait until we get 18 year old foreigners
From other countries behind the wheel of
80,000 pounds.
Can't speak the language,
Can't read the signs,
Pushed thru a crooked CDL school,
No training whatsoever,
Just throw them behind the wheel of some
Foreign owned outlaw company.
Gonna be real exciting out here then.

 

Im guessing the focus is going to be on him not using the runaway ramp. I cant see a jury convicting him because he closed his eyes when he thought he was going to die. Its not like, at that point, he had any options that would not end in the death of himself or others.

 

They'll be writing songs about it

18 years
and a dozen casualties

 

we have that now except for the 18 part

 

I wonder what transmission he had. If it was a manual, the auto freaks will say this could all have been prevented with a auto and manuals will be illegal after 2020

 

Sounds about right. I did see a video of the sheriff or someone saying that he wouldnt comment on the kids attitude during questioning. It seemed to me that he wouldnt have even mentioned it if the kid was remorseful. Thats just my take on it tho.

 

This has me wondering. When people post about what to do when they get a ticket, the typical advice is to fight it even if they're guilty. Is there much difference between that and forgetting how to speak English?

 

It’s called the right to remain silent
