Over the roll.

I guess it was either "the devil made me do it", or "the hand of God prevented it from being worse than it was, I say unto thee, verily." Besides, "no-one advised him that they were off the ship's predetermined route," so he's got all his personal responsibility bases covered. Reminds me of...

Written by George after he realized he'd been catapulted into Britain's notorious highest tax bracket - one in which he was expected to give back 95 percent of his earnings - "Taxman" was the Beatles' strongest rocker to date, and also their first overt political statement. Harold Wilson...

Most of them, probably not. If he occasionally transports an elderly parent on oxygen, maybe she would. But like you said, if she knows the dangers of doing so, and knows not to do it, or at least knows how to properly secure them, that's more knowledge than she had before. She and others on the...

That's not unlike the differences between hauling HAZMAT in a van (cargo or Sprinter), and in hauling it in a big truck (straight or tractor-trailer). There are things in a big truck that the drivers really need never concern themselves with, since they haul everything in the box of the truck...

That's where we're gonna have to agree to disagree, as I view sharing the road with heavy trucks and buses, especially trucks placarded with HAZMAT, as being "direct involvement" that affects the safety of everyone on the road. And yes, I know why you brought up the CPR testing, and the others...

I guess God didn't know about the white foam until it was too late, either. Never let God drive the boat. Good tip.

Well, I think for the purposes of this topic, you know, regarding motor vehicle safety, that the line can be drawn on this side of the concealed and carry, health food, and CPR tests. Additionally, there is nothing in the motorcycle test that isn't already in the driver's license test that would...

That's how stereotypes form. Yes, we do have driver out there who haven't learned much from the studying for, and taking the CDL tests. But we also have quite a few who are safer and more professional as a direct result of having that knowledge. I submit that it's better to have everyone take...

Education. I think everyone getting a driver's license should have to take the CDL written test. It forces you to learn a few things that will make you more aware of things around you.

I taught Ragman everything he knows.

It's a gray area only if you don't know the regs, and the definitions, and who the regs are applicable to.

That's certainly one way, but it's arguable if it's the best way. Another way would be to quit meddling in the affairs of others to the point where we make them mad enough to challenge us. It's called peace through not being a global tool, and it's cheaper than peace through strength...

The thing is, there are other facts in this case that are not in the above piece. You know, the rest of the story. Some of them bode well for the truck driver, some do not. It'll be up to a grand jury as to which facts to consider. Justice, sweet or otherwise, is the administering of a deserved...

They may have a 15K threshold. At 8550 I have 10,000 pound tags (KY). Some Sprinters, the dually RV conversions, will weigh well over 10K, but less than 15K, so they'll have 15K tags ( in KY it's 16K tags in that case, as it jumps from 10 to 16, anything in between gets the higher tag). The...

I heard that the two men in the truck, and the truck driver, were involved in a Texas-sized, torrid love triangle, and the other two had very recently jilted the truck driver. He couldn't tell the police, or his wife, the real story, so he came up with the thieves story to cover his butt, as it...

What do you mean "not so quick"? Should I have asked.... the..... question....... sslloooowwwwweeeeer? Beachbum made an all-encompassing, wide-sweeping and universal assertion, which I replied to, and now you introduce a very narrow possible exception into the discussion. As for the little...

Yeah, but they're X-Rated, not to mention disturbing, and can't be posted here.

Yep What if it's a Ford E-150 pulling a itty bitty teeny weeny polka dot motorcycle trailer with a lawn mower on it? Does Larry the Landscaper still have to stop at the Inspection Stations? As far as the green light - red light, bypass - pull-in signs before the scales, why are people in cargo...
