(A lifetime ban on a driver's license might be appropriate too)

AMEN! Not that lack of license would keep him from doing it again...

What about the company he worked for? They should never have sent him to the mountains without training. Mountain driving is a whole different thing than flatlander driving.

Neither was that Kim Potter intent. We will see what happens there after Feb 18th. Back to hauling and towing....

I think she’s facing 4-15 years and she doesn’t deserve that. It’s not like she randomly shot someone walking down the down the road. She was in a struggle with someone actively breaking the law that was wanted for previously breaking law and she accidentally fired the wrong weapon.

No they shouldn’t have but who decided to continue driving with faulty brakes and decided not to hit one of the multiple runaway ramps and after it was apparent a crash was inevitable decided a line of cars was the best spot to crash. That was all him.

Lack of driver training. Company bears some fault.

I grew up in the Rocky Mountains and learned how to drive trucks in the mountains - log trucks and oilfield trucks since 1975. To make a good mountain driver, you need good education and good coaching. That guy did everything wrong, but the company obviously is lacking in their training. The DOT handbook is a good resource, but doesn’t take the place of competent training. All done on this one.
