Truck Driver Jailed For Christmas Over GPS Mistake - Pittsburgh News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh

[Malaki86]

Damnnnnnn - 2 fines totaling $12,000 - and those are traffic violations. You get less time for selling drugs to kids at a junior high.

WTF! The local judges around here let the drug dealers, addicts and idiot repeat DUI offenders get out on less bail but a truck driver that drives on the wrong road goes to jail? Welcome to PA driver.

Liberal Judge no doubt.

No doubt! Foaming-at-the-mouth, letter-of-the-law judges are usually liberals. Let me invite you to visit planet earth sometime.

And the driver gets this no-leniency treatment Christmas week, no less. What a travesty!

The fine is excessive and the driver should never have been jailed. I am glad that Mason Dixon put up the bail money. It will be interesting to hear how the final verdict turns out. I can sympathize with the driver on the fine and how he was treated, but can't believe that he would blindly follow his gps when there were signs that stated that he was not allowed on those roads.

That was what I did like about the GPS I had on the laptop. I would call a customer that I had never been to and get directions in. Then, I would plot those directions on the map. I guess you can do that with the latest GPS units too now. I always figured GPS was a "tool", not the Bible.

If you google the ignoramus, somehow or another he won both the Republican and the Democratic nomination!!! Pennsylvania sure has a strange way of electing judges.

Kentla, I think you said it best - what a Dick! :lol:
