Apparently this truck driver could not read or write english. He had an interpreter for his written test...yep.

A person should be able to read, write and speak the countries they live in official language before being allowed a drivers license.

His next court date is December 18.

The company owner who gave him 2 weeks of training has also been charged.

Yea we introduced stricter laws recently but nothing has changed, a lot of deaths are due to these we have a lot of strange ideas. You get fined for eating or drinking, but not smoking ??? and it is possible with technology to fit tv's in cars, someone needs to decide exactly what distraction is.

Canada follows the international standard for its hwy signs you do not have to read them just see them and the shape will tell you what they mean.(how do you think colour blind people know their signs ) Oddly same signs as in India . Now street signs well that's a different story. A decade earlier at the same road crossing a family got wiped out by an other accident. The interchange went through some big upgrades flashing lights rumble strips. 4 foot stop signs advance stop sign warning lights with flashing lights.Trees removed to increase visibility  So this driver it did not matter what he could read he missed an awful lot. Why he missed them is up to the courts to figure out. But have no fear because he is from a country Angle with a z does not like he will go to jail. The owner well he will get a few thousand dollar fine because what he did wrong was poor paper work. Racist comments do not belong here. Also keep in mind the over 70% of truck drivers in Ontario Canada have less than a grade 8 education. No where in the new standard for truck driver education did it say you need to have passed high school as a minimum education. Also there's a serious lack of law enforcement out there. Want to teach a truck driver some manners ticket them till they smarten up. Law enforcement agencies do not hand out enough tickets. Passing up hill with a tractor trailer these people are proof they need an education. Tailgating OMG they think it a race and need to draft. Over speed in a snow storm LOL I know they can't see the end of there hood because I can't. But for all that they only get tickets after the accident. Get them to hand out the tickets be shorter than a year and you will see a lot of nice truck drivers all curtious and shit. So its not the Pakistan the Muslims the new Canadians it the lack of law enforcement that has gotten us to where we are. And Angel with a z I got my license out west with a key to a tractor trailer and zero training 42 years ago so yes I know what I'm talking about.

Even worse here in Minnesota they promote recent immigrants to police long before they are ready, 1 particicular case the Mohhammed Noor shot a woman dead for calling in a report of a woman screaming nextdoor. shot right in front of his partners face in the squad car.

Hey my betrothed never said this ? it is you who have put the racist element in your post, I was just kidding her, she said it was because he didn't speak English and I absolutely 100% agree with her. how the hell do you operate on a commercial (not tourist) basis in a country where you cannot understand simple things like 'stop', 'caution' 'speed limit' etc etc that is just commonsense. Pray why shouldn't he go to jail if everyone is treated the same for the same offence ?, you seem to be suggesting he is victimised. I did not know he was foreign until I read your post and I thought he should go to jail.

To get a truckers AZ license out west is easier than in Ontario. Ontario has the most strict truck training in Canada. You can not get a license in Ontario without training. My husband got his AZ in Ontario 35 years ago. He said he wished he had gotten it out west because they hand them out easily and the truckers are not taught properly. He also knows all the laws of trucking in every province of Canada as well as most of the States.

Please do not associate me with racism. There is nothing in my post that can be considered racist.

The amount of the fines towards the owner of the company will probably be no higher than $40,000.00

Picture 1 shows both stop signs.

Picture 2 shows the flashing red light stop sign that he completely ignored.

He is going to jail and he will never be able to drive a commercial vehicle again or never be able to drive again.

I'll let the courts know that the decision has been made "guilty". Should save some money there.

He blows through a stop sign, kills 16 people and injures 13. Can you honestly think he is innocent? Can you honestly think he is not going to jail?

Are you defending him because he is a truck driver? The old saying for years and years is, "Always blame it on the truck driver"? That doesn't wash anymore. Truck drivers make bad mistakes sometimes.

The entire world is watching this case just like the donations for the Broncos gofundme were world wide.

It will save the tax payers money if (should) he pleads guilty.

I'm not defending anybody here. I am saying I find your remarks on topics like these racist . All of the post you have mad about transport accidents have been about immigrants not of the white kind. And I'm saying you have charged and convicted these two before they even get to court. What happens to them is not up to me in the least bit and my op ion does not matter in the least bit. But I am allowed to voice my opion on the manner in which you post and my opion is its racist. I'm not asking you to stop or to not have your say here what I am doing is letting you know what I think about it. And it here is your post,not  the the accident in Saskatchewan. Surely this is a sad sad thing but to even think that somebody who could read english would of never ran that stop sign . Accidents happen why this one happened I  every  truck driver is really curious about. And to suggest I don't blame truck drivers sheesh go back and read my post.

Why? Because I repeated something I read on cbc news/ctv news?

I never said anything about the owner of the company.

I said the driver blew through a stop sign, killed 16 people and injured 13 people. How is that racist?

My thread is about the changes to the driver training in Saskatchewan due to the accident.

Your talking jibberish. Are you shit faced? Need another drink?

 

Again,  do not associate me with being a racist. I am not, have never and will never be a racist!!!
