MTO doing important work

[Alec Caldwell’s six-year-old column about the Ontario Ministry of Transportation continues to attract comment, most of it negative to the MTO. But at least one reader thinks we should have some respect for the work MTO officers do.]

As a commercial driver you are responsible for the safety of your commercial vehicle and trailer; that’s why the officers are out there…to protect the people that travel on highways. Too often there have been accidents (some resulting in death) of innocent travellers and all because the commercial drivers (small or large) have become complacent. The funny thing is, you complain, but would you complain when a loved one is injured or killed because of a complacent driver???
