Authorities say a teenager was behind the wheel when his large truck veered into a highway shoulder and killed two North Texas women who were changing a tire on a Colorado freeway early Saturday.
We should license drivers!!! Oh…
“He didn’t need a commercial license; it had one axle,” Lydia Martin, Tristan’s aunt, told the Denver Post. “He had lots of experience driving the truck here on the ranch and on the road since he was 16.”
Colorado authorities aren’t entirely convinced.
“We are investigating whether he was complying with federal guidelines,” said Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Mike Baker.
I don’t know the laws, nor do I really care. He obviously couldn’t handle the truck, and should pay the price. But this isn’t a “Gun Death”…it doesn’t count.
h/t Bob
In the article he is reported as being 16..
His dear Mum states he has been driving since he was ’16’!!
Dear Lord please take me know…the stupid is getting stronger all the time…
That makes him about as qualified and experienced as those who pass laws that govern out day-to-day life! 8)
