Well, traffic was slowed to a crawl, so the "weaving" was probably nothing more than occasional lane-changing while stopped to try to find which lane was actually moving. It annoys me when people do it, but it also annoys me to see other drivers speed up to cut people off who have their signals on and are trying to move over, because it is hard to do and keep track of everything.
I liked the statement of the girl in the other car: ""This is just to me absolutely ridiculous," Fowle told The Washington Post. Community service would have made more sense, she said. "It's something that's going to make someone realize 'I did screw up, and I'm going to remember this, and I'm not going to do something like this again.' "
It takes a lot of irresponsibility and bullying to drive another car off the road. It's only happened to me once and the guy who drove me off the road from my own legal lane was a senility case, whom I reported to authorities.
I suspect the weaver was doing a lot more than just not noticing the effect he was having on other cars as he plowed forward and assaulted others. I think he's the one who belongs in the dock, not the war wife.
That's not the occasional-changing to find a moving lane. The drivers that do this have it perfected.
"The couple said they hadn't even noticed Hall's car until the cup landed."
Tells me they were not even paying attention to traffic. I got hit by a Saab once due to his lack of not looking before he leaped! I drove away pissed off and he was towed away at least!
