We had a guy in a SUV do an improper lane change on a curve several years ago on his way from I95 onto I495. He "tapped" a dumptruck in the next lane. It lost contact with the highway and went on a straight line instead of on a curve as intended by the driver.
Next thing you know it launched off the main roadway and came down on top of some other cars and killed the occupants.
The SUV driver got a minor ticket and went about his business.
Like I said, I favor prison to fines every time for this stuff.
Yes but maybe there's something i didn't explain about this law:
It is meant for one purpose only: to raise revenue. It's supposed to raise 180 million next year alone. Should we really make our state troopers tax collectors? Who's next? The pharmacist? Teachers? Preachers?
Jail for speeding? No. That's insane. Jail for vehicular homicide? Sure, fine with me. That's just common sense.
