Driving in a way to entice people to do dangerous stuff is disgusting.

<><><><

You are assuming this to be the case,

What led her to start taking video? We don’t know what the jackass did to lead her to beginning the video.

You are right, actions have consequences and we are ourselves responsible for our actions. You have made an excellent case now for the guy being solely responsible for the crash. His actions had the consequence of causing him to lose control of his vehicle and crash.

Had he chosen differently, we’d be talking about something and somebody else.

She admits to taking other videos of cars that do what he did, sans the accident. Her driving style during the entire video supports my position that she was goading him on. Her attitude during and afer the event. Her lies about speeding up while he is trying to pass her because the limit increased and the weather and her left turn.

The evidence is overwhelming. If I was a police officer I would ticket her for reckless driving and if I was a judge I’d find her guilty - in both cases based solely on the video evidence - but her testimony would strengthen the case against her.

Here is some good instruction on how to actually drive on a road like that. This woman could take some very useful instruction:

There is actually very good instruction for all drivers there. It should be part of high school drivers education.

Thank you. For me there are two stories here. The first is his actions, which I think we all agree on. The second is hers. And I believe I said in a previous post, she is the equivalent of the little sister in the back seat on a long trip goading her big brother on and on and when he finally reacts, she whines to mom and the big brother gets slapped.

See, the big brother is fully responsible for what he did, but still... :-P

BTW, We did a LOT of long distance trips when my little sister and brother and I were in grade school. My sister DID, in fact, play my brother and he did get in trouble a lot. I learned early on that it was not worth it, though I had ways to make it cost her without me being the one getting in trouble. It’s why she stopped doing it to me very early on.

Drivers like this woman don’t get to me. I simply pass and ignore. Heck, I did it this morning. A lady stopped at a stop sign (we are in a rural area where you can see a long ways down the road), and just sat there, no turn signal or anything. It is an intersection where most people don’t even stop, but may slow down a bit.

Anyway, as I approached (I was several hundred yards back) she just sat there so I simply went around her, turned left without slowing down and continued on my way. Interestingly, as soon as I passed her she did turn left and went the same direction I was going. But By the time we took a couple of twisties, she was long gone.

They are pylons to me.
