    i see it coming...tougher laws for truckers.

    if there were to be a ballot come election time, at the polling place to 100 x's fines and penalties for truckers, i'd vote YES in a heartbeat.

    it's gonna happen folks, these morons are gonna make your life a living hell soon enough.

    for instance, in my state, "disobeying a traffic control device", that is an $85.00 ticket.

    multiply that by 100, that now becomes at least $8,500.00

    i think a moronic trucker can afford that......plus the civil lawsuits, plus damages, loss for life the CDL, and mandatory jail time

    IIRC it’s the firing squad,and from my understanding it’s the same in Nebraska too,but they’re not particularly crazy about it!

    For my understanding the firing squad was optional but I guess the penultimate condemned inmate was asked if he had any last words and he said:”Let’s do it!!”
    Apparently the firing squad gives the condemned an impression that they’re going out in a blaze of glory-hence the state’s’ apprehension to using that method of carrying out death sentences.

    I would imagine many of these CDL "steering wheel holders" will just flee back to their native country and never be heard from or seen again.

    Methods of carrying out death sentences should mirror the crime. I am of the opinion that the criminal is treated way too well, death is too quick.

    Wonder why they didn’t print the drivers name?

    he didn’t disregard traffic control devices
    He drove right into a huge red truck with a million strobe lights on it .

    ####### was watching a movie or something .
