Some humanoid distortions should be banned for life from driving

Absolutely disgusting. She isn't even remorseful. I say take her money and give it to him. He'll need it. She won't.



I'm so sorry about what happened to your relatives, Skybird. You have my condolences. We may have had our differences and fights in the past, but I agree with you 100% here. She should be banned from driving for life, and hopefully she'll get the maximum sentence in prison she can get.

Ah, its very long time ago, don't worry. Just when I hear stories like this, or see freaks on wheels, or alcohol in cars, I tick out. Alcohol is no mitigating excuse to ease a penalty, but people are fully responsible for what they drink, and whether they give away their car keys before they start to drink. It is fully their responsibility, and if they cause damage while being drunk, the circumstance that they are drunk to me is not mitigating, but a worsening variable - because it would have been so easy for them to avoid the mess they did. I also do not accept how easily sentences get suspended nowadays, or get eased due to "positive social perspectives" or "interests harmned for the offender".

We let the offenders defining the rules too often, and see them at the focus of our attention too often. Too much social engineering in all that. We make better humans, so to speak. The bill gets payed by the police officers on the streets, and the civilian victims of the profiteers of these heroic sociological experiments.

Sending SMS while driving, is not different to drinking alcohol before driving, the loss in concentration is immense, experiment shave shown that when you telephone while driving, the concentration focussed on the traffic around you and the street before you drops by 40-80%, and you reaction time increases tremendously. Some people do incredibly stupid things while driving. I then wish usually they get themselves killed alone and soon, and before they have a chance to take others down with them. Or that they have their driving license confiscated for many years, until age maybe has given them the gift of wisdom. You do not want to give just anybody a firearm. But a car is okay...?
