How fast was the Bronco bus going?

Not sure if the information is accurate but for sure it matters. Speed and distracted driving kills.

I preach defensive driving into the kids every chance I get, now grandkids time. You gotta watch those side roads, not only do cars fail to stop, guys pull out unexpectedly from stop signs in front of traffic too. A guy pulled out in front of our 20 year-old son north side of Yorkton. The dozy guy driving a convertible told the cop that he drove without resting from Nova Scotia. Good thing son had anticipated and took the left ditch after clipping the little car. You gotta watch those side roads - Period!

I agree people entering from side roads are the worst they don't slow down until last minute you can't telll if they are going to stop or not. Most don't stop until front tires are almost on cross road way past stop sign. Then they take off before you are even by them what is it that people coming off gravel and side roads seem yo be in such a hurry. Semi's are the worst for this.

What is your motivation for posting this? Is this fake news? You are a disgrace for doing this, I'm shocked this has not been shut down by moderators.

Brutal

Agree **** off with this topic.

walterm, "Semi's are the worst for this."

When I'm hauling grain with my semi, all I see are cars doing this, racing up to a stop sign hoping to get across or turn ahead of me, then they realize, they don't have enough time. Or you can see a car stopped(or not) at a roadway up ahead, and sure as hell, they'll pull out in front of me, just to get ahead of me, of course they don't care if I have to brake and slow down for them.

I have a hard time believing many semi drivers are driving hard right up to a stop sign and then hammering the brakes, that's something cars and pick-ups do, not semis.

Wow Tom

You haven't met my friend from north of Elstow who owns the stretch of highway 16 from Elstow to the crush plant turnoff

Why use this example? We know who was at fault. And we know all the faults that had him in the road.
Let the rest be already.

I think Tom might be grumpy because of the tighter rules around 1A license.
I can understand.
Things were good here until a "culture" of rule breakers and benders arrives with their standards and beleifs that are not ours. A whole SEPERATE Industry was built around an existing one and for getting immigrants their commercial licenses. Rubberstamping proved fatal.

As I said in a previous post. Any new immigrant to this country should have to drive with only a class 5 and for the same probationary period Canadian citizens new drivers have to, or maybe more! .....before they can even attempt to TRAIN for a 1A.

Yup Canada, Where we bend and twist ourselves into pretzels to suit everyone else!

Good luck harvesting Tom. And get some rest,
Take care.

"bring them back alive"

You can't " what if " this accident....Maybe the truck driver was speeding also??????if he would have slowed down and the bus driver slowed down....and he still blew the stop sign.....how do you know the accident would not have occurred...


Just stupid for bringing this up...

BTW...you said "I MAY BE GETTING OLD. " ..you forgot "and senile".

Truck driver should have been charged with murder owner of truck accessory to murder not deported unless spending life in prison back in where ever the hell they came from. That would send a message that putting people on the road that shouldn’t be isn’t tolerated. But very little has been done from what I’ve heard most training facilities are by these people that are not qualified and in my opinion do not value life on earth as they should.
Drive down the road or get the details many semi related accidents are being caused by these people. These aren’t the only people murdered by people like this.
Government is scared to slow down the supply of truckers that’s the real cause of the accident and many others. They should be accountable but aren’t. All immigrants should have to have a class 5 for 5 years prior to even attempting a 1a simply to become familiar with our road system and language.

Tom. I've also told my kids they have to drive for other people on the road too.
Do they still teach IPDE? Defensive driving.
