A good taste of NAFTA to come?

@ 11:51 PM (10 months, 25 days ago)

 

I dont know the nationality or status of the driver of the bus, its too early to get the full story of who what when where.  Was the driver a U.S. citizen? Or part of that wonderfull "cheap "labor being shoved down our throats, by the pro-illegals?  My respects and condolences to the family of the fatality, and best wishes to the injured and hope for a speedy recovery......

A Mexican tour bus crashed on Highway 59 near Victoria Thursday morning. One person died, and dozens of other passengers were injured.

Officials said the driver of the charter bus with 49 people on board veered off a highway near Victoria, Texas, then overcorrected, causing the bus to land on its side.

A pickup truck then collided with the bus.

At least nine passengers are in critical condition.

Officials said driver fatigue could have contributed to the crash.

 

Do bus drivers have to follow the same rules that truckers in the U.S. have to follow? If so do foreign drivers in the U.S. have to follow the same rules?  More is sure to follow...........riff

  1. Funny thing, a number of Mexicans aren't too crazy about NAFTA, either. I posted something about the Mexican trucks on our roads and our trucks on theirs. Their truckers were threatening a border shutdown someplace. Don't know if it ever happened. Mexico was threatening sanctions if we stopped their trucks from coming here. And just read this about some of their farmers.
