Have you read the news about the Edmonton bus driver who was fined $600 for failing to proceed through an intersection safely and killed a 21 year old rider?

"Judge M. Allen refused a crown request to suspend Annie Stenbeck's license for three months, saying she would lose her job and her only livelihood if he did.....Allen noted Stenbeck had no criminal record and has a long history of community service. She is also very active in her church.....Allen noted that had Delano been in a truck or a car rather than riding a motorcycle, the collision would likely have resulted in a fender-bender rather than a fatality."

Read the article: http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=fd3beef9-0725-4c30-9994-4648ff5e21ac

I have some HUGE issues with this Judge - how about you?

This woman - who DRIVES FOR A LIVING should have been charged with driving with undo care and attention causing death and she should have gone to jail. But because it was someone on a motorcycle that was killed - in the Judges words: " had Delano been in a truck or a car rather than riding a motorcycle, the collision would likely have resulted in a fender-bender rather than a fatality."

Her ability to earn a living, her ability to enjoy her life is being protected - yet she took a life - because - "She didn't see him"

I Googled the area to ensure my memory of the area was accurate and it is....
