Improper lane change - signal ticket

....Because it is they who are tasked with enforcing some politician's B/S, so they get the blame.

One of life's unfortunate realities, I'm afraid...

 

From where I sit, the idea that CDL holders should be subject to more severe penalties than non-CDL holders for the same infraction is a load of inconstitutional hogwash that has likely never been challenged.

It should be.

 

Yes, we certainly can't have that when there's money to be made.

 

You're missing the point.

@unloader said this happened while he was in his CAR, not a truck.

THAT is my bone of contention. Once a driver is out of the truck and on his own time, he should be treated the same as anyone else, and the idea that laws targetting CDL holders for more severe penalties for infractions committed in their POV's is ANYTHING BUT a money grab is at best naive, and at worst disgusting.

 

Not a fair comparison.

A doctor swears the Hippocratic oath. A doctor in that example is performing his craft. A trucker commuting home in his car is not, and most likely will never be in a position to do it on a moment's notice like a doctor happening upon the scene of a car accident.
