I’m sure you’ve seen more and more heavy vehicles swerving in and out of lanes. I know I have.

Under California law, a truck driver convicted of manslaughter is disqualified from driving big rigs for 12 months. And any driver convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter is generally supposed to receive a three-year license revocation. But criminal cases can drag out, sometimes for years. Singh wasn’t convicted of manslaughter in Kern and Fresno counties until 2024. It was only then that the DMV took his license.”
