Some of the children so badly injured die while others who survived remain in hospital for months then have to go through physical therapy. If they're lucky regain full mobility of those broken limbs.
Its time for you to move the Kool Aid stand.
Not seeing a question in there anywhere.
Point is that it
didn't happen. He made it to the yard - maybe he/she has kids too and is desperate or maybe just someone addicted to drugs badly needing a fix. If seeing that mess on the road driving - sure call it in - you are right there is a responsibility to do something - that's what I have been saying the whole time. Behavior would better be stopped for fear of not being able to cash in vs. avoiding the PD and driving the back roads with a stupid load etc...
Yard has the right and really the responsibility ethically to refuse the load/pay less for the load or call it in - maybe a mercy warning the first time - otherwise the argument for
anyone to call it in has no validity. If someone sees it and does nothing,... isn't the scrapyard "someone"?
It's contradictory to say "greytruck" had a responsibility to make a call and report what he saw at the scrapyard and then say the scrapyard itself
doesn't - what - scrapyards don't have to be responsible for anything?
Here's a question for you.
What will better
prevent the behavior? Idiot in overloaded truck: "I can't take this load to the yard cause they won't take it AND I risk a ticket along the way" or "I risk a ticket but I get my 40$ if I make it cause they will take my metal on my overloaded truck - I feel proud"? Almost a guarantee there would be no reason for him to do this again since there would be no benefit now.
Stupid behavior involving public safety
prevention is better than after the fact consequences and someone getting hurt.
