Harjinder Singh, the illegal immigrant truck driver who made a left turn across a lane of traffic on the Florida Turnpike in order to use "an official vehicles only" cut through to traffic running in the opposite direction and caused a crash that killed a family of three, was the beneficiary of a petition signed by more than 2.5 million urging Florida officials to show leniency toward him.
One of the signers cited the case of Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, an Indian immigrant truck driver who sped through a stop sign at nearly 60 mph and slammed into a bus killing 16 of 29 junior hockey players in Saskatchewan, Canada in 2019, saying "he only had to spend four years in jail. Now he's back driving a truck. Harjinder shouldn't have to serve more than one year for his lesser offense."
Another signer admitted "I've made that very same traffic maneuver dozens of times. Luckily, I didn't kill anyone and never got caught. Harjinder shouldn't be treated too harshly just because he wasn't as lucky."
A third signer suggested that "the fact that the victims were Haitian immigrants ought to be used as a mitigating factor in determining his sentence."
In related news, Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill) just signed a bill into law to allow immigrants to become driving instructors. "Maybe if we allow immigrants to instruct other immigrants we can avoid tragedies like the one involving Harjinder Singh who now faces a potential lengthy term in prison for his inability to understand traffic signs written in English."

Leniency?
I suppose I could support that.
Hang him with new rope instead of used.
Sadly the minivan driver was not paying attention. But who expects a semi across the lanes. Saturday we actually passed that spot on the FL turnpike.
2.5 million bots.
A good list of future deportees!
I would guess normal turnpike speeds are at least 55 MPH.
YOU GO OUT ON AN EMPTY ROAD-—
GO 55 & THEN ASK YOUR VEHICLE FOR A SUDDEN TOTAL STOP.
LET ME KNOW YOUR RESULTS——
TAKE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS-—NOT DEMOCRAT STATISTICS.
“I would guess normal turnpike speeds are at least 55 MPH.”
80 in the slow lane.
