I have worked in this industry for a long time. Owned my own company had a few close calls. But I remember one story where a driver with 30 years experience rear ended a car in BC. The car was turning left and she had her steering wheel cranked all the way left and the impact sent her car into oncoming traffic causing a fatality. The truck driver was never the same. Her family did not sue the driver or the company and forgave him.
I understand this is not the same thing, but it might benefit the industry if they had this young driver go and speak to all these truck driving schools and tell his story for 10 years than spent it in a cell. I don't know just throwing an idea out there. So much emotion with this case.
