    He will get EXTRA TIME as just last week he was busted for driving without a operator's license!! The worst part is he NEVER hit the brake, just kept going!!

    Other things RECENTLY caught for.....possession of stolen goods, misdemeanor larceny, and drug possession!!

    The scary part is I think your wrong. Look at some of the dirt,garbage and log haulers around they will hire anyone that can drive!
    I dont think there is a hole deep enough to put him in!

    WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! Log haulers arent the problem!! Not even a majority of them have bad records, its more like a 1 bad apple will spoil the whole bunch thing!!

    Alot of those jobs cant even be had by someone with a bad driving record let alone major criminal history

    it would be good for trucking companies to install web cameras in every truck and do safaty analisys. I'm sure it may prevent accidents, becouse usually thiskind of accident is the result of bad driving style for long time

    I hate the fact that people don't really know what the laws are pertaining to stopping for a school bus is. DUH!!! 2 lane road, traffic going both directions, school bus stopped with lights on then "STOP". 4 or more lanes or a divided highway, school bus stopped with lights on, you are in the 2 lanes following the school bus that is stopped with lights on then "STOP". Opposite side and direction of the school bus that is stopped with lights on, of the 4 or more lane road or divided highway you can slow down a bit but you don't have to STOP. I have to stop because of the morons where I live every morning. We are going the opposite direction on a 4 lane road. Who in their right mind would expect to think that a school would want your kidding running across 4 lanes of traffic to his bus stop??? I feel for truckers. My husband is one. I drive a 4 wheeler and can barely make it to work in the morning without pulling my hair out. OK rant over, carry on people lol.

    Actually some states still require a stop on four lane divided highways. I can't keep up with every law for every state, I'll continue to stop for them unless I see it posted otherwise.
