How fast was the Bronco bus going?

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.

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.

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.

Maybe I just dated myself. Or was it just an SGI--- Saskatchewan thing.

Farmaholic, Exactly... "All accidents are preventable"... and if an accident does happen... sober second... and third....repeating... must be the lesson to be learned... so those who died did not die in vain... I do not have comfort in my soul... that responsible solutions have been implemented... 50km/hr slow down zones at major cross traffic intersections... stop ahead signs that are bigger... further back...with photo enforcement, would be money well spent...these lives lost deserve much more practical solutions... safety belts in busses that travel highway speeds... electronic gps logs for highway passenger busses... why should these busses be less secure than passenger aircraft?

Bump to the stupidiest thread I've read all year, which is saying a lot on this forum.
