I assume everyone is familiar, putting this here because it's going to be Political.

Driver had a CDL issued by California DMV. Does an illegal U-turn in Florida and kills 3 people.
Perhaps it's time other states stop honoring California drivers licenses and turn them around at the state line.

ICE issued an immigration detainer on August 16, 2025, after Singh was arrested, to ensure he remains in custody after his state prosecution, preventing him from slipping back onto America’s streets. This detainer ensures he will be transferred to ICE custody the moment his criminal case concludes.

It is gruesome too. The minivan went under the trailer which turned it into a guillotine. At least they died fast.

Sanctuary states are endangering the rest of the country. In addition to the driver's license issue, there are no vaccination requirement if you enter the country illegally. No contraband checks and no criminal background checks. Everything is skipped when someone enters the country illegally. There is a reason why illegal border crossings are illegal. Sanctuary states like California encourages this illegal activity.

The sad part is they where close to exits and a rest stop in that area. It is scary out there driving now days with all the untrained drivers both legal and illegal.

There was a similar thing here in Canada, but he killed 16 people - jailed for 8 years and has been deported back to India. Too many of them coming here buying their permits...

He can't read road signs or much of anything written in English. How did he get two CDLs from two sanctuary states when he can't read road signs?

Sorry to be so blunt but I hate almost every dumbshit truck driver on the road. Most of them should be taken out behind the barn and shot.

Well, I can't whole heartedly agree with that but, there's a whole bunch of cage driver's that don't deserve to have a license, some of them are truck drivers but a whole bunch of them are in pickup trucks and cars.
The problem in this deal is the state's licensing rules. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Unfortunately, this time it cost three people their lives.

DeSantis says the illegal alien who killed three Floridians in the viral traffic accident will be extradited soon: “We’re extraditing him back to Florida. He will arrive in Florida today. And he will get the book thrown at him shortly after that.”

I remember back some time ago, Semi Trucks (trailers) had multiple plates on them for the States that they could drive through. But if I remember correctly, that process was eliminated?

AI Overview
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 established the nationwide Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. This act standardized the requirements for operating commercial vehicles and aimed to improve highway safety by ensuring qualified drivers were operating large trucks and buses.
While the act was passed in 1986, it officially went into effect on July 1, 1987. However, it wasn't until April 1, 1992, that drivers were formally required to have a CDL to operate certain commercial motor vehicles.
Prior to the 1986 act, each state had its own regulations for commercial driving, and some even had what were known as "chauffeur's licenses" for commercial vehicles.



Looks about right.
