The only thing that I temper that statement with is the recognition of the numerous errors I have made in life where, but for the grace of God, I would be in the trucker's shoes. No winners anywhere on this. RIP rider and condolences to your family and friends.
Guilty plea to dangerous driving causing death. It's about time charges stiffer than failure to yield stuck. RIP Riccardo.
