And you know this how?
This guy struck and killed 2 cyclists in 3 years. The first victim's
parents sued and won $1.5M in a wrongful death. There were no
witnesses
to the second fatality, so it's the driver's word -- a frequent
case in
bike fatalities.
Something tells me the driver's word is not going to prevent another
wrongful death settlement in this case. Maybe that will finally get
this accursed trucker into a less lethal profession.
Dude. If you can't excuse yourself from a certain line of work after
killing people *twice*, someone needs to do it for you. Three times,
you need not to drive anything anymore.
I wish we had enough transportation alternatives to have sensible
rules like: If you are driving and you're involved in a crash with a
fatality, you don't drive again. No fault, no exceptions. But as it
is now, in half the country that would amount to house arrest.
Thinking of a certain infamous Massachusetts driver, "We'll cross that
bridge when we come to it."
Why does Ted Kennedy get so much more grief than Laura Bush? Would it
be their respective political affiliations, perhaps?
Did Laura Bush get loaded, run her car into a shallow lake and flee in
panic,
leaving her illicit boy friend to drown in 4 feet of water? I must have
missed the
story.
You missed the story about Laura (then Welch) Bush running a stop sign
without even slowing down, and killing her ex-boyfriend? And refusing to
properly acknowledge her vehicular homicide to this very day?
Yep. But I found it:

I was living in Montreal when Bush was elected so maybe I missed
it. Not everything USian makes the news here. Of course everything
about the Kennedys does but Bush is only really popular here with
the stand up comics.
