Not saying he didn’t. Just saying her defense gets way more difficult the moment she decides to say “my bad”. Had she, or her parents, refused to let her speak without legal counsel, perhaps she has a stronger defense. But now a prosecutor has a person fully admitting to being at fault. That hands them a lot of leverage imo.

Avoiding crashing is instinctive;it takes serious training to overcome instinctive behaviors.

And there are plenty truck drivers withinimal training even Hazmat haulers. I have questioned tanker drivers who had no idea what was in the tank;they just handed the BOL to me. Scary.

That girl and millions more might well be imitating her parents driving. Every day I see older drivers committing violations of law and common sense.
