    About the driver's religion and the origin of his last name? Interesting. Not sure I've ever seen that asked. Not sure how it matters. Idiot drivers come in all shapes and sizes, and a whole lot of them born here.

    It doesn't matter really. Some usually ask if the driver was Russian out of Chicago.
    That doesn't matter to me at all. When I'm overseas people ask me if I'm American or Russian. Met quite a few in China and enjoyed their company and a few drinks and a meal. Language is the only difference in Russians and Americans. I have Russian and Ukrainian friends here in Las Vegas. Language is the only difference; culture is the same.

    Sounds like a Grandma with her two grandkids got taken out. Very sad regardless.

    Commercial vehicles are held to a higher standard than 4 wheelers.

    Actually, held to a DIFFERENT standard, whether it’s enforcement or litigation. There’s an outright bias against big trucks, throughout this country.

    Yep. The equipment is being installed. Highly doubtful it’ll change anything through there.

    Early mornings, there are 3 white Dodge Rams with camper shells regularly working that area and only ever have big trucks pulled over. In the afternoons, there are as many as 3 Chargers sitting in the middle as countless 4-wheelers speed by. This group of LEO’s never do anything.

    Four-wheelers aren't held to a high enough standard.
