It's really too bad she didn't die... my faith in Darwinism is lacking these days. It seems as though all the stupid people are having way to damn many kids to make up for the ones who actually do end up killing themselves by being stupid. I'm sorry, I'm just a bit bitter. I don't wish harm or death on anyone.

Driving in the left lane in an SUV. That's 12 big stupid points right off the bat. Using a handheld cell phone and driving with a suspended license. I can not even calculate the stupid points for this. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I passed at least 20 of these morons over the holiday on 101 just between San Luis Obispo and Ventura. |

The typical SUV driver in the left lane, talking on a cell phone is oblivious to the rest of the planet. They never look at the long line in their rear view mirror as the putter along at 45 to 50 mph. Note, that I am talking about 101 and I-5 here. It is, as I said, a problem. The typical SUV driver seems to believe that they took title to the left lane when they bought their vehicle. I strongly encourage the CHP to ticket all these puttering fools for obstructing traffic. We do need the revenue to balance the budget. | ||

Though larger vehicles do seem to make a larger mental impression than smaller ones, I would have to say that it is not just SUV drivers that hog the road. I have seem many many drivers of compact cars driving under the speed limit on in the number 2 lane of a 4-lane highway. Since during comute traffice the number 3 and 4 lanes are a wall-to-wall convoy of truckers, any blockage or slowing of the number 1 and 2 lanes is very annoying. At times, I see truckers actually passing up the idiots in the number 2 lane. Honking doesn't do any good, these morons think you are saying "hello." (By the way, I am NOT an SUV owner.) |

Kevin, you are correct. There are idiots driving things other than SUVs. Furthermore, this time of year is a poor time to judge the characteristics of traffic. During the shopping season before the holidays, there are enough 100 mile per year drivers on the road to really much up the traffic. |

As per the issue at hand...why was this woman's license suspended anyway? Seems like more than just the cell phone contributed to her crash.

What about the fact that the dumb biz-natch wasn't obviously using a hands-free device? I can't drive without one.

Olive loaves? I was thinking more along the lines of cricket bats and pick axes... we could bombard them with olive loaves before we attacked.

The idots that drive everything from big rigs to compacts (with or without being on cellphones) are the reason I bought an F350...Already been thankful once when I was rear-ended that my truck was bigger than what hit me.

I'm not opposed to people talking on their phone but there are other times when they can do it and if it has to be in a car, then they should use a car kit for their own safety. My $0.02

This is why I drive a car that has airbags in everyplace you could think of... and it could be worse... the people to beware of round here are the 23-year-old girls in the H2s that their sugar daddies bought them, yapping on the bloody phone while their nails dry. And then they get behind my little compact car and get pissed when I only go 80 on the freeway.

The H2's have become the official assault vehicle of soccer moms everywhere. It's too bad those 23 year olds couldn't have bought a real truck!
