That's tough for the driver. Having my dad being a semi driver, it is very hard to see in some areas of the truck. Always be aware of your surroundings people, the crossing guard should have known that better than anyone.

And since you didn't specifically mention this magic law that gives truck drivers the right to plow over people, I'm gonna assume you're just being an asshole.

The driver didn’t see the crossing guard and you’re an annoying idiot. Everyone is telling you how dumb and wrong you are and you’re pulling a principal skinner.

Fuck off. The only thing you’re an expert of is being wrong every time. Fuckin loser armchair general.

Everyone also tells me that an invisible man in the sky who knows everything and created everything was unable to help himself from creating evil and murder.

I don't believe them either.

I'll also point out that the overwhelming majority of the people you are referring to resort to insults and empty threats (as you are doing now) instead of delivering straight facts or sound logic. You can use that to push your baby brother around. It doesn't work with me.

I've already explained my reasoning in previous posts. You are free to counter them if you wish.

Fuck off. The only thing you’re an expert of is being wrong every time. Fuckin loser armchair general.

You can try and square this circle all you'd like. Doesn't make the driver any less responsible. This was a school crossing guard that he ran over.

That could have been someone's CHILD that he ran over because he was in too much of a hurry to ensure the coast was clear, despite having seen all of the people waiting to cross, aespecially the one wearing the very bright, hard to overlook yellow slicker.

the other walkers actually did what they were
supposed to do....eye contact with driver...far
enough away to do so, and cross quickly. not
stand around like they own the road.

TRUCKS OWN THE ROAD....he wont even get a
citation for this....you dance around it all you want.
90% bet driver is union....case closed...nothing will
happen because it wasnt the drivers fault. there is
no way to "clear the coast" besides get out and
look!!!...then take the 3 minutes to get back in the
truck where someone else could have walked up
and stand there....it still would not matter.

would it???....if the driver got out to look..."ok
coast is clear"...hop back and run someone over..
still the drivers fault???....some standing at the
light decides he want to jump under the wheels???
drivers fault???

you are a fucking moronic dipshit.

And the crossing guard did what SHE was supposed to do, which is to stand in the road while the other pedestrians crossed the road.*

They own the highways. They do NOT own city streets.

Incorrect.

The driver, Hector Yepes, received a desk appearance ticket for motor vehicle failure to yield to pedestrian and failure to use due care.

And that don't mean spit in a bucket.

It was.

look!!!...then take the 3 minutes to get back in the

It does not take three minutes. He could have just scooted over to the passenger seat and peeked out to make sure the coast was clear.

would it???....if the driver got out to look..."ok
coast is clear"...hop back and run someone over..
still the drivers fault???....some standing at the
light decides he want to jump under the wheels???
drivers fault???

Yes, it would STILL be the driver's fault, but him actually checking would make him appear less of a careless prick in front of a judge, in front of a jury.
