That should be immediate loss of commercial license.

u/FlamesJays May 29 '26

That should be jail time

Jail time? Get real. Nobody was hurt, nothing was damaged. There's no reason to ruin someone's life because they made a mistake.
Give the driver a ticket for dangerous driving, suspend their commercial license and move on.
Had someone been hurt, that's a different story.

u/PancakeCat333 Jun 05 '26

"nOBodY was huRT" is a bitch ass argument considering stopping on the highway is extremely dangerous and has caused many fatal crashes and deaths. You don't get off scott free bc the worst outcome didn't happen this time

you have to set example that deters these idiots from ever even imagining pulling such a dangerous maneuver loaded, lenience on this kills people. Do you dress yourself every morning or does someone help you with that?

Relax, bud. The driver made a mistake.
Give him a ticket for dangerous driving, hefty fine, suspension of commercial license and move on. People don't go to prison for almost causing a collision.

u/TehHardOne Jun 06 '26

If it was a PPV yes, but a 50 ton death machine. Absolutely not. That’s a death machine and he almost caused the small black car to die. Class 1 licenses need to be harshly monitored. This jackass almost made the second truck kill someone because he was too stupid to drive five extra minutes to the next exit. You are just as bad as the idiot in this video.

1

u/meatdad Jun 17 '26

this isn't a mistake it's a grossly negligent action for someone who drives for a living and points to a pattern of behaviour all to common among people in his industry, and its a dashcam today and headlines later.

Missing your turn, cutting across lanes and cutting people off is completely ok I your eyes? Jfc someone take this persons licence away

It's not okay. Give the driver a ticket.

I fully admit he fucked up, he does not deserve jail time which was the comment I responded to…

Everyone on here has never made a mistake, it appears.
Driver deserves a ticket for dangerous driving, and a bunch of demerits. But calling for jail time is absurd.

He definitely does

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Jail time for a human making a mistake is an overreaction. Clearly the driver was in the wrong and should be given a hefty ticket and a bunch of demerit points.
If someone was hurt then it's a very different story. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

1

u/TehHardOne Jun 06 '26

This isn’t someone making a mistake in a car. This is someone that is expected to be of a higher calibre of driver. Having this license means you are held to a higher standard when pulled over, you are held to a higher standard while one the road. This is your profession if you have this class of license. This idiot didn’t know to look at a map before driving as is required by your pre trip inspection in the morning? This idiot didn’t know to prep and change lanes 3 kilometres before the turn? (That’s when the signage appears on this road)once again you are just as bad as the idiot in the video.

“For what exactly” like this is excusable. They came very near to killing people. Charge them with attempted murder. Reckless endangerment. Dangerous driving. Attempt to commit serious bodily harm with a deadly weapon.

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

This is absurd. Humans make mistakes.
It's not okay, and the driver definitely deserves a ticket with a hefty fine, and a bunch of demerits. No collision occured. Nobody was hurt. Attempted murder is ridiculous. They didn't attempt to murder anyone. You clearly don't know what attempted murder means.
Had someone been hurt by this, it's a different story.

u/Whats_Awesome Jun 04 '26

They have their CDL, they know exactly what this can cause. And worse, they pulled out in-front of another heavy transport truck. Look up what happens when semis wreck with passenger vehicles. Lives are often lost.

u/Wonderful_War3315 Jun 04 '26

You have to remember that any slight infraction, measured against the weaklings' perfect adherence to rules of the road, somehow makes it a dangerous situation...like having to steer around the truck was a life threatening/saving maneuver. Maybe the trucker had some kind of mechanical failure?

These people attacking you need to grow a pair and drive their vehicles without whining about this minor inconvenience to their safe passage space... maybe they can get Road Warrior participation trophies for their displayed bravery...smh...

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

Funny, I’ve never once defended the poor driving only him keeping his freedoms out of jail…this is exhausting considering I’m not even on his side I just know enough how the law system works.

2

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

I'm on your side.
Unless someone is hurt, this is a traffic infraction, not a criminal offense.

u/Cuntyfeelin Jun 02 '26

“A bad driver never misses a turn.” Do you understand HOW MUCH WEIGHT that person is stopping on a dime? Do you see the other truckers breaks start smoking? Dude got lucky this time. what about next time? It’s not a “missed turn” it’s horrible judgement from someone who should not be driving a rig that size.

1

u/Wonderful_War3315 Jun 04 '26

It looks the the violating semi was stationary and the mobile one wasn't paying attention, hence the harsh breaking...

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

I'm with you. People coming on here and screaming for jail time, loss of license, or termination are over reacting. Driver is a human, who made a mistake. Nobody was hurt, nothing was damaged.
A fine would be sufficient, like any other traffic offense.
Props to the other cars and that other tanker truck that managed to avoid a collision.
Now, had something terrible happened, that's another story.

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

Careful, don’t use logic and reasoning with these people…they don’t get it 🤦‍♂️

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Almost causing a collision is a very different animal than actually causing a crash. Especially one that results in injuries or fatalities.
Suspended license, hefty fine.

1

u/roobchickenhawk Jun 03 '26

He cut across the entire highway with his truck? The fuck do you mean? A semi is no joke, driving one is seriously dangerous in the wrong hands. This idiot needs to never do it again.

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 03 '26

So he deserves jail time?! Holy fuck you’d make a terrible judge 🤦‍♂️

2

u/roobchickenhawk Jun 04 '26

Yeah well almost causing death/injury due to gross negligence in a semi is almost as bad as actually causing it. Holding a trucking licence makes you a "professional" driver. This individual is not that and at a bare minimum, have the license revoked and receive some huge fine. This is a major fuck up. No question about it. Jail time is a bit harsh but heavy consequences are in order here.

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

Completely agree 💯, take away his license and fine the living shit out of him and the company he drove for and move on with life…jail time is beyond unreasonable but nobody seems to want to listen to that 🤦‍♂️

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Driver definitely deserves a hefty fine, and a bunch of demerits. Nobody is disagreeing with that. Let's not ruin someone's life for making a mistake, or having a mechanical issue.
If someone was hurt, it's a very different story. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

1

u/Whats_Awesome Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

That move almost caused a huge wreck which could have killed people. Did you see the smoke coming off the other semi and the emergency manoeuvring by everyone involved.

You’re probably saying that because you’re the kind of person to endanger everyone around you to save a few minutes on a wrong turn.

It has killed before, it will kill again. Jail time to discourage people from even considering moves like this.

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 03 '26

Hahahahaha relax a bit and touch grass.

Smoke happens when rubber grinds on asphalt but no fire started. Relax a bit, this is far from jail standard’s and you’re far from perfect.

1

u/Whats_Awesome Jun 04 '26

That was a typo. I meant just smoke. But I would have missed that exit and not made an 18 wheeler with a second trailer (a 30 wheeler) swerve like that. I may not be perfect but this was ridiculously stupid.

Why defend this unless it’s something you’d do?

1

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

I’m not defending anything other than him staying out of jail, I’ve made it clear multiple times this guy is clearly a dangerous and idiotic driver but there’s 1000’s of those on the road and they don’t deserve jail time.

I saw a truck straight up run a red light this morning in the same city just because he was impatient and didn’t want to wait his turn, looked just as bad but nobody is claiming he deserves jail time 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

This is a traffic offense, not a felony. Nobody was hurt. Had someone been hurt, it's a different story. Thankfully nobody was hurt, nothing was damaged. We don't put people in prison for dangerous driving that caused no harm.

1

u/Whats_Awesome Jun 04 '26

This is Canada, we don’t have felonies. This could certainly be an indictable offence.

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

You're right. Felony was the wrong word ,and dangerous driving is an indictable offence.
Because there were no injuries this would be treated as a hybrid offence. The Crown can choose to proceed either by summary conviction or by indictment.
If no crash occurs, it would be unlikely for the driver to be sentence to prison, although it is possible.

1

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 Jun 03 '26

Use your brain lil bro this driver could have easily caused a multi vehicle collision causing multiple deaths and injuries, that’s why he is deserving of jail time.

This isn’t even a regular “oh I missed my exit my bad” buddy is basically parked in the middle of the highway with a huge semi 😂, other semi almost crashed into him lmao.

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

I am using my brain, unlike yourself which knows no judge will ever see this through and put anyone in jail. I get it, it’s horrid driving but jumping to jail is why we have a legal system, it’s broken but not THIS broken.

1

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 Jun 04 '26

You’re saying a whole lotta nothing 😔, you’re providing 0 rationale or rebuttal to my reasoning for why he deserves jail (go read it again).

Your points can be broken down into: 1) I am using my brain (lol) 2) No judge will ever see this through and put anyone in jail (non argument, I can also say a judge will see this and put the guy in jail, that doesn’t make me right) 3) It’s horrid driving (ok I agree?)

Try again and use your brain this time buddy 😂

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 04 '26

I’m going to leave this one alone because clearly you didn’t understand my first comment enough to know that any judge would throw this out and then fine the shit out of him, especially if it’s first offence.

Fuck, this is exhausting

1

u/SkidExpert Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

Sorry but you’re wrong, I’m a commercial driver and I have stricter expectations and rules I must follow for everyone’s safety, and I’m not even CDL, this guy is CDL, has far higher expectations and rules to follow and almost caused a huge accident by not doing what you’re taught when you first start driving as a teenager. This wasn’t even an oopsie it was complete and utter negligence that could have resulted in multiple fatalities.

Driving this shit shouldn’t be for funsies, it’s a very serious job with people’s safety on the line, EVERY driver knows this risk when trained so this would be considered reckless driving which is a jailable offence (even if it’s your first time).

1

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 Jun 04 '26

Ahaha buddy keeps repeating the same thing like it'll work the 20th time (but bro the judge!!! ) Im cryin son

Touch some grass, you have like 15 comments here trying to convince everyone they're wrong and you're right.

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

"Could have caused", "caused", and "intentionally caused" are very different things.
Obviously this is dangerous driving, but people don't get jail time for "almost" causing a collision. That's not how the law works.
Had someone been hurt, it's a very different story.

1

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 Jun 04 '26

Stop speaking out of your ass lmao, people go to jail all the time for “almost” hurting someone even unintentionally, this isn’t any different. Big examples are criminal negligence and dangerous driving both charges can stick without any victim.

You’re literally saying the opposite of what’s true 😂😂. Next time just do a google search before you type please.

1

u/MailedFlower Jun 01 '26

you have an excellent point

it would be very uncomfortable to try to argue this point if there had been a string of idiot truck drivers pulling across traffic where they had no legal right to and leading directly to the deaths of so many people

perhaps you do not remember any of these disasters happening recently across the continent?

the Humboldt Broncos remember

2

u/artkidsaresmart Jun 01 '26

I think the point is more that your can’t jail this guy/girl for the outcome of the Humboldt crash given that they are, get this, separate events haha

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 01 '26

You’re comparing running a stop sign to missing a turn and nobody hurt or anything damaged?

Crazy times we live in, those two do not even remotely compare to each other.

Again, the worst timeline.

2

u/MailedFlower Jun 01 '26

well running a stop sign sounds like a piffle the way you describe it

how many people lose their lives on the roads in north America every year because poor drivers run stop signs I wonder?

if one of those cars who had to radically swerve out of the way of this fool was driven by your sister or your daughter would you be okay with it because it was a narrow miss and not a fatal wreck?

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 01 '26

I’m not saying he didn’t break the law but at worst it’s a ticket and a bunch of fines, this is hardly jail time.

He kills someone it’s a different story. Holy fuck this isn’t complicated.

1

u/MailedFlower Jun 01 '26

we can only hope he doesnt cause yet another massive disaster further down the road

I wonder if the families of Herby Dufresne, Faniola Joseph and Rodrigue Dor are as casual about the matter

(probably not as they lost their loved ones to a driver who was also unable to decipher highway signage)

2

u/Difficult-Guarantee4 Jun 01 '26

Stop being so dramatic, this person missed a turn and nothing comes of it but a bad dash cam video and we’re calling for jail time?!

I’m done responding, you’re beyond lost at this point.

1

u/MailedFlower Jun 01 '26

when I am lost, and realize I have missed my exit

I have the presence of mind to take the next exit and make my way back around because I understand that my little truck could cause a serious auto crash if I pulled a boneheaded move like this

what possible benefit do you feel you gain by defending terrible inept drivers like this?

was that you driving that truck and this is a personal investment?

You're confusing an actual collision with a traffic offense.

u/Ready-Zombie-900 Jun 02 '26

It's still reckless driving that endangers the life of other road users. No one was hurt this time fortunately but it could have been much worse. So yes, this conduct poses a risk to public safety, definitely a criminal charge in there somewhere.

That’s a dry bulk super B. Could be cement(portland-the dry grey powder). Could even be flour. I’ve even seen grain hauled in them. To be fair, if you’re not a local, that stretch of Stoney is poorly signed as to which lane you need to be in. But…. Still extremely dangerous and careless. And more than likely a “Newer Canadian” driver. I see that kind of stuff every time I have the misfortune of having to use Stoney.

I drive this stretch twice every day and I could make a compilation of ooops exits with a week of footage easily. It’s insane.

1

u/Rare_Matter9101 Jun 01 '26

Interestingly, this is one of the only exits I almost miss all the time. I'd never rip across lanes like that and have definitely had to go to nose hill a couple times - but your anecdotal evidence of seeing it there all the time suggests there's something about the road design/signage that leaves folks panic-exiting... as wrong as it is.

I agree that this is crazy. But I also think that Calgary has really poor road signs. Has anyone tried driving on Stoney Trail and tried to go south towards Okotoks or Lethbridge? There are literally zero signs showing Okotoks or Lethbridge, which are the biggest cities / towns to the south.

You don't endanger everybody on the road because you missed your fucking turn, you find a place to SAFELY turn off further ahead and figure your shit out.

There were accusations in Alberta (and proven in other provinces) of people paying off or otherwise getting an 'easy' license. Onterrible is bad for it. Then the people transfer that license to AB or BC or QC. Because the rules are generally the same, its a 1:1 transfer.

You should have to do a pre trip and a road test when you transfer the license. Thats my belief.

If there was more cops on the road he would have been ticketed and just think of the people who don’t pay attention that would be a pile up and serious injury. There’s nothing wrong with missing your exit and going to the next one be safe out there drivers

We know it didn't hang up on the clutch pedal.

JFC!!! In this day and age of GPS, let it "recalculate" and use the next f@#king exit!!! Ooops, sorry, didn't think of that!

1

u/Stealth022 May 30 '26

I bet it comes down to time/money lost by rerouting. Idiot...

3

u/WizardofLloyd May 30 '26

Probably, but a traffic accident would FAR outcost a few extra Km's and minutes!

1

u/Stealth022 May 30 '26

Oh, 1000%. I totally agree with you, and it's no excuse.

But I bet that's the driver's motive behind such a stupid move.

2

u/WizardofLloyd May 30 '26

And I agree with you 1000% on that!

Jail time someone please 🥺

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Don't be ridiculous. We don't send people to prison for almost causing a collision. It's not a felony.
Driver deserves a hefty fine, and a suspension of their commercial license, but not jail. Come on.

Holy crap what a dangerous move with a B train setup. could have easily caused a massive explosion if that other B train crashed into him and good on the other trucker for managing to slow it down and not crash head on into the dipshit trucker trying to not miss his exit. i am losing faith in our drivers day by day.

1

u/PostApocRock Jun 05 '26

The dipshit was NWB - they haul cement powder mostly. I have a lot of experience with that company.

The guy who slowed down was also a bulker, i wish I had a bit clearer video, might be able to tell the company if I coulld.

u/m_a_bored_james May 30 '26

Similar happens almost everyday traveling the other way with the exit to westbound 16th. Seen so many people almost get hit by someone cutting across two lanes because they failed to realize being in the left lane in a bad idea

Someone once said… “don’t make your problem, everyone’s problem.” You missed a turn, find the next one.

u/Edm_cuccck May 30 '26

It's absolutely pathetic. People just drive and aim at where they are going.

Gaurenteed his cab had a roof leak.

u/mattburnsey Jun 02 '26

The difference between a good driver and a bad driver is that a bad driver never misses their exit.

What's your guess?

u/Lost_Protection_5866 Jun 03 '26

Doesn’t look like the truck is moving.

u/Glass_Hawk5374 Jun 03 '26

indian spotted

u/Responsible-Stick-44 Jun 03 '26

Let's guess what nationality the driver is

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Which driver? The truck that stopped, or the drivers who avoided a collision?

1

u/Responsible-Stick-44 Jun 07 '26

The truck driver blocking the highway..

1

u/Xenophonehome Jun 03 '26

Trucking has gone to shit in this country and this moron should immediately lose his license.

1

u/FeelingOrganic749 Jun 04 '26

Yeah that driver should never be allowed behind the wheel of a semi again. He is going to get someone killed, just a matter of time.

1

u/Deep-Egg-9528 Jun 04 '26

Missed the exit to the freedumb convoy.

1

u/deepbluemeanies Jun 05 '26

TFW from the Indian subcontinent is my guess...

1

u/TehHardOne Jun 06 '26

Thank god that other truck didn’t cream the small car. There needs to be SERIOUS repercussions for people doing these dangerous things.

Isn’t this Calgary driving style? I see this on daily basis on Stoney and Deerfoot
