@Ikaros1428312 @RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA Not at all. Just pointing out you don't need to speak the local language to drive properly.

Fault lies with the State of New York for issuing this CDL when he couldn't drive. Especially not with passengers.

If you want to demonstrate your driving ability, try driving overseas

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

@RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA Yes, and your ChatGPT translations which had zero to do with this crash.

I assume the Chinese driver missed all the orange cones, flashing orange lights and all the other drivers slowing down.

I've held a CDL before. With a P endorsement for driving a school bus. You?

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

@RainsCyb @RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA From experience, you figure out things like "Einbahnstraße" pretty quick. :)

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

@RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA The absolute worst information signs are the Silver Alerts and anything with more than about 5 words.

Informational symbols are much better.

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

@ehj03151767 @RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA I'm not saying the driver was not at fault. Clearly the driver shouldn't have had a CDL.

Driving without command of the English language probably has nothing to do with the accident.

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

@RebeccaTucker85 @SecDuffy @FMCSA Rebecca, your sign pictures highlight the deficiency of American signage. Overseas they use more symbols.

Also more situational awareness. When you're doing 180 kmh and get passed by someone going 60 kmh faster, language isn't important. I don't speak German but I survived.

Can't wait to see @rushtheband next month. Found possibly the coolest Rush license plate ever.

My father passed away last year but it looks like the work he did at Juaymah from 1977-1978 is still standing despite the Iranians trying to take it out.

[Ali @MerruX]

heavy damage at Saudi Arabian Oil Co Ju'aymah NGL/LGP facility from Iran strikes 2 days ago. Heavy damage to the refinery, pipeline and storage terminal which are still on fire

Did you grow up watching CHiPs?

For many people, it was their first introduction to motorcycle officers. While the show was entertainment, it inspired plenty of riders who eventually chose a career in law enforcement.

Our Motor Unit is a valuable part of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

With Bike Week underway, we decided to recreate the classic CHiPs intro with a couple of OCSO motor deputies.

Awesome to see fellow Puerto Rican and former Houston Astro - Carlos Beltran make it to Cooperstown.

@BlastingThrough I lived in Valdez for 3 years, 50 years ago when my dad was building the tanker berths at the end of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Thanks for showcasing Alaska.

I always love it when the Football team comes over to celebrate with the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band after a major road win.

And if you've never been to a Saturday night game in Baton Rouge, every win there is a big deal.

[Preston Guy @PGuy77]

Baton Rouge has fallen.

Count me IN.

I'm looking forward to road tipping to Europe next summer to see Iron Maiden.

[Iron Maiden @IronMaiden]

The Run For Your Lives World Tour returns to Europe and beyond in 2026!

Iron Maiden have announced the first shows of their very busy schedule for 2026, starting with a summer return to Europe to predominantly play festivals and also stadiums in countries and regions not visited in 2025. Further dates for the rest of the world will be announced later.

The initial European dates are listed below, with more festival appearances to be announced in due course. It’s a busy year so following this there will be no Maiden shows in 2027.

A special UK headline show will take place on July 11th 2026 - more details will be revealed for this over the coming days.

The band will also to return to Paris so that our Run For Your Lives show can be filmed for our fans and for posterity! We chose an indoor stadium to see the best of the production and also a great audience which we know Paris is and always has been for us. It was great to see fans embrace the request to limit phone use on the recent tour, creating a powerful atmosphere that elevated every show. For 2026, the band asks audiences to continue this approach, ensuring concerts are experienced fully in the moment.

In Paris only, general admission tickets (standing) will be entirely phone-free with Yondr’s secure pouch system, guaranteeing the best possible environment for both fans and filming. More information on this can be found on https://t.co/sAw8fetR1j.

Rest assured we will be visiting as many of you as possible next year, before the band take a well-earned break from the road in 2027.

And through sheer randomness, I happened to be in the stands that night.

18 years ago today, Barry Bonds hit No. 756 and became MLB's all-time home run leader.

@SundquistPiper @Zigmanfreud I did that in Burbank in 2020 and got asked if the American Flag meant I was a White Supremacist.

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

Whoa... I used to live there 21 years ago

[Burbank Fire Department, CA @BurbankFire]

This morning, crews responded to a multi-family dwelling fire on the 4300 block of W Kling St. When crews arrived, heavy fire was showing from the carport. Crews quickly extinguished the flames with no injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause is under investigation.

[Russell Brown @Sev1Veteran]

Great story about the challenges associated with educating and leading adults.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

Deion giving Sapp this second career is what I love and respect about Coach Prime. Sapp has blossomed again at 50. Great to see.
