They have signs that say that theyre coming up too. I do, however, think that that long of a sentence is ridiculous.

Truckers are held to a higher standard because of the risk involved. High sentences and fines are an intentional deterrent. They have to make smart choices or the repercussions are severe.

Based on the video provided of the truck there's no way he could have determined that from where he was. Also not to sound like a complete asshole but if the choice is between Scenario A, where the truck ends up ramming into the back/of another truck completely off the road and Scenario B, which would be the events that actually happened, there's no way B is a better option than A. --- https://i.imgur.com/bbRWLI8.gif https://i.imgur.com/A0BErSV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7fCcfko.jpg ...

I feel bad for him because the incident that started this wasn't his fault, but this is literally the entire reason the ramps exist. He chose to take a gamble that instead of 100% fucking up his truck, he could take control of it elsewhere. That did not happen and now 4 people died, most likely in a very painful manner I have sympathy for him and don't agree with the long sentence (or the policy that allows that to happen), but he's not innocent --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD ...

Just wondering, even though he missed the ramp for whatever reason, couldn't he have swerved off the road? Like into trees or something instead of heading straight for traffic?
