wow, I just got back from Harlingen 2 days ago. I was eating at Luby's on sunset strip hwy & can verify there are bad drivers down there. Their cars are not maintained, riding on donuts at 40mph in 60 zones and they basically have suicide middle lanes in the streets. My dad was almost killed in the nearby town of san Benito, Tx. He was mad driving at high rate of speed near town with palm tree islands and a semi pulls out. The car became a 57 ford convertible. He jumped to the floor board and saved his head. be careful out there.

Three kids are left behind without a mother. The best thing going for them now is getting some closure. Hopefully, the Z driver will be going away for a few years. Doing time also serves as the best lesson for the rest of her life. At the end of the day there are only losers on both sides. Very tragic

50/50
the Z was driving recklessly, but the van didn't yield either a good lawyer will beat the manslaughter charge guaranteed always sad when a life is lost. even without doing any jail time that girls life is ruined too. knowing you killed someone is a hard burden to live with for a normal person.

Here in Delaware it is illegal to be talking on a hand held cell phone when driving but, I still see it everyday. When I see someone run a stop sign, CELLPHONE. When I am behind someone, the light turns green and they just sit there, CELLPHONE. When I am on the highway and the person in front of me is swerving back and forth, CELLPHONE and the worst one is when I am driving the back roads having some fun and the oncoming car starts to drift into my lane, F--KING CELLPHONE. I don't put up with it anymore. If I see someone talking while driving I will honk the horn , flash my H-beams and if possible pull up next to them and tell them they are breaking the law and putting people in danger. I have had it with this s--T.

A few years back I counted the number of drivers with a celphone in their hand while waiting at the light.
I saw 7 out of 10 on average. These days less people drive with their handset in their hand because of the new rule (law?) in our state and a lot of modern cars now offer hands-free as standard feature. |

After reviewing the video on my large screen monitor at work numerous times, the time it took the Z to cover this distance was right about 6.75 seconds. This equates to a speed of 82.73 mph |

The mother driving the van did not have enough time to determine the Z's speed and approach because it was weaving at 80+ MPH. She did not know whether to slam the brakes or gun it. If she slammed the brakes the Z pretty much would've t-boned her. If she floored it, the Z pretty much swerved left (in the video) and would've t-boned her as well. Plus, the van has very poor throttle response so there would be an initial lag or slippage, which would've jeopardized her anyway. She couldn't maneuver left or right from her perspective either because the Z would've hit her regardless.

yes....i agree. When you are pulling out into traffic there is no way you can see far enough or gauge correctly when you have all the traffic going 45, there is no way you can judge whats happening with an incoming car going 75 weaving through the pack...the brain just cant do that while also multitasking and operating the vehicle.
Some people might have caugh that with their peripheral vision (believe it or not the detection actually occurs in a DIFFERENT PART OF THE BRAIN) that is not directly connected to the conscious mind. This is meant to give us the ability to react quicker with instinct but some times it has the reverse effect...you get about a .5 second delay in reacting because you are completing complex tasks, not just physicially dodging something......however the people who would have had the capability of catching that would be professional drivers, atheletes, marksman, baseball players, maybe some of us car enthusiasts, video game players etc. A mom in a mini van....no, she would not have had the capacity. Anyone with ANY distraction in the car also would not have had the capacity to detect it. Fault is clearly the white z....but its also just bad luck. She was speeding a little and just happen to come upon the wrong intersection at the wrong time...at precisly the time she was also being a dumb *** and operating a cell phone.....you play with stupid...you get burned.
