$1: I'm deducing that big fuck-off trucks unfit for the road pose more of a risk than andy's 12 year-old Yugo.

But still, I'd rather get hit by a brakeless Yugo than get a load of hot tar dumped on me by an out of control dumptruck, as happened here a while back. We were getting a lot of truck runaways as Sikhs took over the industry and applied their b... |

| I have a big problem with this. It's spring, and in all provinces the DOT is conducting what we call the Spring Blitz, they setup on roads around the province and pull commercial vehicles into inspections, at which point they either pass them, report minor repairs needed or pull them off the road.

| What drugs were those? Article in the Herald yesterday claims the Dasughter testified it was Morphine He may be legally guilty for the extreme he believed had to go to but existentially he's a goddamn hero for saving his child I'm guessing he's quite prepared to deal with the reprecussions as well. |
