    They may have been referring to the diesel fuel or other fluids(coolant,motor oil) that leaked out when the truck hit the barrier. May have ruptured a tank and/or the crossfeed. However if he was hauling hazmat in that dry van,then that driver is screwed.

    Even regular car licenses. Can't behave responsibly you shouldn't be trusted with anything more than a moped.

    The rules are already in the books for reckless driving,etc. They’re just not being enforced like they used to.

    I was fantasizing the other day what it would be like if they allowed over the road truck drivers to issue citations. Just reckless driving alone I could issue about 20 citations per day on average. It’s absolutely out of control and I scratch my head as to where law-enforcement is. No I’m not one of these petty guys who thinks you should get a ticket for every time you go 6 mph over. I’m talking people who drive in a way that I can only describe as virtually suicidal. It’s common place and they are everywhere now. Completely and absolutely out of control. People absolutely freak out if they get slowed down even for a second. They go crazy.

    Something like 6 fatal crashes between Kamloops and Blue River, BC the last 2 weeks. Lots of stupid going on lately.

    Causing an accident from stupidity should result in a public whipping. Stupid should hurt. No more simple monetary fines for death and destruction.

    This thread isn’t about Mormons. I need to wear my glasses more often.

    I agree…. Coming across 40 from Barstow the idiots were in full force. Apparently when a truck puts their blinker on to get over for a cop or road hazards the 4 wheelers and California plated trucks think it means “please fly around and create a bigger hazard by pinning the truck in the right lane”.

    And moreso -

    - Faster truck passes the slower.
    - Faster truck checks mirror, throws signal at proper spacing to come back right, but in a micro-second can not.
    - Moron that WAS at faster trucks trailer bar is now half way up his right side!
    - Truck has oh-crap wtf moment, has to recoil back from his lane change, then unpucker his tukkas.

    :mad:
