<p>[QUOTE="Pedigreed Bulldog, post: 6255780, member: 64805"]In the cases I've seen where drivers end up doing hard time for log falsification, there is always an aggravating factor such as an at-fault fatality. Where he might have walked away with a citation for failure to yield or failure to reduce speed had his logs been correct, the falsification charge and fatigued driving charges are added to punish the big scary truck and secure vengence for the deceased person's family. Love it or hate it, it's the game we all play. Even if you try to do everything right, doesn't mean they won't demonize and throw the book at you if something goes wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
