How did he manage to get back to Stockton after the accident in FL?
Indian ntl Harjinder Singh needed a translator in court.
<><>He doesn’t know how to read American road signs.
<><>stupid California gave him a commercial driver’s license
<><>He was in a truck
<><>he made an illegal U-turn
<><>he killed 3 people in another vehicle.
He may not be able to read road signs, but he could still use them to navigate as signpots.
He probably used a map app.
His remedial English lessons only need to include the phrase: “You have the right to remain silent...”
This guy is pretty representative of the current demographic of long haul truckers taking over the long haul trucking business over the last 10 years
I was run off the freeway and down a 30 ft embankment. And almost killed by one of these guys a few years ago
1978, upon arriving at a US base in Germany...we were given a 50-page booklet on German road situations...which included two pages of ‘signs’ and meanings (all in English).
The test was divided into two pieces. You had around 40 minutes to test on 100 signs and select the appropriate application...which 30-percent of people failed on the first try. The second was the 50-question quiz on rules of the road (again, in English). Around 10-percent of folks failed this test, and tested a 2nd (even a 3rd time).
I could see where California applied the training and testing in some Indian language form. But I’d wonder about the degree of training and harshness of the test.
Probably needs a federal investigation, and likely dismissal of 10,000 trucker licenses if proven that it was marginally working as a program.
(Footnote, I worked with a NCO whose dad was not capable of reading...yet was a truck driver for 10 years...when his wife made a big deal about this and forced him to learn how to read.)
Every single one of the people involved in him getting his CDL (license in general), all need to face charges as accomplices.
Minimum sentence of 20 years for each death.
I agree. The feds should set up random mobile testing centers at truck stops across the country and test every trucker they come across.
Maybe they gave him a license, so he wouldn’t claim they were racists.
George Ryan went to jail for stuff like this. His cell is currently available. It’s in Illinois, which is an approved destination for democrats avoiding things like being in session.
This...is the correct answer, IMO.
The experienced drivers and logistics professionals at US City Links, Bakersfield, California are equipped to handle pickups... Choose US City Link for your truck loading needs and experience.
To the best of my knowledge he did, yez, sign the extradition papers but HE WALKED....he was released, free to go
Correct me if I’m wrong
What kind of excuse is that?
It isn’t. The question was asked how he could get around without being able to read those signs and I gave my answer. They are still useful landmarks, even if you have no idea what they say.

OMG-——glad you survived———a miracle.
Every single one involved in him getting his CDL (license in general), needs to face charges as “accomplices.” Minimum sentence of 20 years for each death.
The arrogant SOB Singh under arrest.....but set free---in sunny illegal-loving Cali.
