    I can you 1st hand .. what happens.. I seem to a magnet for drunk drivers..
    If your a college professor @ OU and its your 3rd offense in the state of Oklahoma they slap you on the wrist and fine you 5000 & tell you to enroll in a rehab program.. because the judge feels your a asset to bettering the education of young adults
    If their a repeat offender in the state of Kansas they just pull their DL and turn a blind eye until they do it again and kill a passager in the vehicle they hit .. Then after they scrap up the POS and pour what's left of him in a body bag they tell you and the victim's family.. We knew he was still operating a motor vehicle but he had to get to & from work .......sorry for you loose & your lucky to be alive
    Then there's the state of Indiana.. I've already typed more than I care to.. I don't care to elaborate anymore

    As of December, the petition has reached over 4.6million signatures. You know what this is? NOW Truck drivers are afraid if they wreck there truck, look what might happen to them. I drive in Chicago land everyday, and the stupid drivers out there is out of control. they dont care if they hit the side of your truck with theres, or take a mirror off. Just take off,and run. Laws need to change. Companies need jail time, and lose there company for letting unqualified people to drive there commercial vehicle. Drive your truck, hurt, kill someone, put them right behind bars, JAIL TIME IS COMING. I still cant understand how the GOVERNMENT allows people to take a CDL test, and cant speak a darn word of english. All our traffic signs are in ENGLISH. since im on a roll, how about these clowns following there GPS right into a cemetary, then tell the police "Thats where my GPS told me to go. COME ON MAN !!!

    Because the liberal snowflakes have passed enough laws to override Darwin's Theory and now the Ftards are plentiful ..And my generation ate to many pop rocks & tried to wash them down with Coke so that little trick killed the common sense gene.. so my generation bred up a bunch of morons which in turn reproduced more morons

    What’s going to happen is Governor Goofball will take some heat for slapping Murdering Moron on the wrist. Being your a typical politician, he will blame truck drivers, American drivers to be specific. And they will make an example of the next 3 generation American driver. Some clown will be break checking a truck coming down that grade, causing him to heat up his brakes and bump the clown car in the rear bumper. The Bleeders will all proclaim the clown as brave.The media are going to state that they caught this terrorist of the highway, and they are going to throw the book at him. He’s a lifelong scum, whose worse deed in life was getting caught cheating in 4 grade math class.

    I’ll say in advance that if someone kills me by negligence because they’ve panicked I desire only their Christian repentance and do not desire that they die in prison.

    So you want them to be thrown in with the lions? Or burned alive? We could also go for an eye for an eye and kill him four times.
    I mean it's a little drastic, but :::shrug::::

    The fact that he chose to skip multiple runaway ramps proves that his intent was not to avoid a collision and the resulting death and/or serious bodily injury.

    He may not have woken up that morning with murder on his mind, but when it came time to make a choice he didn't choose to avoid killing.

    OK, let me make absolutely clear what the issue is here, because too many people are focusing on incidental minutia.

    He deliberately aimed for the stopped cars.

    He did this on purpose. He admitted as much in court.

    The reason we want this guy in prison has nothing to do with lack of training, faulty equipment, missed ramps, xenophobia, racism or the price of beef in Borneo. It's because he looked at a whole bunch of innocent people just going about their day and, of his own free will, decided:

    "Better them than me."
