Yes. He intentionally broke the law by driving over his hours.

So if it was not intentionally it was an Accident.

Negligence is not an accident. Recklessness is not an accident.

I am not saying he was right for him to drive beyond his hours, but the problem I see is even if he was still with in his hours and fell asleep and would gotten the same sentence.

You have no evidence of that.

There a driver here from where i live is looking at the same thing, yet he did not fall asleep but passed out, went through the median and killed a girl, he only been on the road 45 minutes. Yet he faces the same sentence. He did not know of the medical problem till then, yet he may face prison time. Was his Intentional? No, but facing the same.

"Facing the same" and "convicted of the same" are two completely different things.

What I am saying is All should have a high Standard in driving, You can kill a person just as easy in a car as you can in a Big Truck....

And here I thought the fact that there is a difference of about 77,000 lbs would play a factor......:roll:

Really? A person with a license to drive a car can automatically drive a Class 8 vehicle? And here I thought truck drivers required
special training above and beyond an automobile license......:roll:
