Opinion: 'N' drivers aren't the only reckless ones in Burnaby - truckers too!

My blogs have been pretty rough on ‘N’ drivers in the past – and rightly so. There are some terrible ‘N’ drivers caught on camera.

My blogs have been pretty rough on ‘N’ drivers in the past – and rightly so.

There are some terrible ‘N’ drivers caught on camera. Who can forget the one who pulled a U-turn right in the middle of rush-hour traffic?

But as NOW reader Sharjeel says, it’s not just ‘N’ drivers doing reckless things. He has a dash cam and it caught a trucker recently doing some sketchy stuff on the South Burnaby road known as North Fraser Way. That’s the industrial section of South Burnaby and, true, there isn’t always a lot of traffic, but that doesn’t excuse truckers from driving this fast.

I mean, this trucker is really booking it. Late for a date?

Then, when the trucker gets to a traffic light, you can see the vehicle jump when the driver thinks the green light is about to flick on.

Dude – I’m assuming it’s a dude, but perhaps I’m wrong – check yourself before you wreck somebody else.
