Editor: Re: Trucker fined after crash, Nov. 1 Fines of $115 and $132 for being naive not knowing how big his rig is? That is a perfect example of the world-renowned unfair/lax Canadian laws.
How about taking this driver's licence away and make him pay for the overpass repair work? Earlier this year another truck driver, this one from Alberta, wiped out an Interstate 5 bridge in Washington state.
We drove 4,000 kilometres in the U.S. without any incident, did not see any accidents and as soon we came across the border we hit this traffic chaos, spending two hours to get from the Highway 10 overpass to River Road.
In addition, not one day goes by without witnessing an accident commuting from Tsawwassen to Vancouver.
Canadian drivers obviously are not being educated sufficiently.
