Odd that so many caught
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Re: Log truckers nailed, Oct 4 story.

I am an ex-logger from the Coast who was caught in a similar sting two years ago. The truck I drove was speed-limited to 95kmh and I was caught doing 96kmh heading up the Coast and 97kmh on the way to town loaded. OK, fair is fair, I did the crime so face the fine — but where were they situated for this operation?

I drove for a company that had all its trucks speed-limited so to nab a hundred trucks, gee, and to say 100kmh-plus . . .

Re: The person who suggested a drug-testing facility be set up — who’s to say you’re not a “druggie”? The only drug I’ve ever taken in my driving career is a panadol, clown.

All the best, East Coast loggers.
