Five people were killed on a Florida expressway when their car was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver — who had his license revoked nearly a decade ago, according to a report.

Maiky Simeon, 30, was driving east in the westbound lanes of the Palmetto Expressway near Miami in an Infiniti sedan around 4:30 a.m. Saturday when he smashed head-on into a Honda sedan.

Everyone inside the sedan — four women and one man ranging in age from 18 to 25 — was killed in the wreck, authorities said. None of them have been publicly identified.

Name sounds Haitian. Miami is riddled with them.

The Afro Heritage majority do not share American values. They’re still culturally African at root

Cultural analysis

This article needed to be pinged but wasn’t. Funny how that is. The article that did get pinged, which was all of three sentences long, also coincidentally about a wrong-way crash on I-95, but one in which no one was killed or even injured, generated 52 replies. Thus the power of the “ping”. Some people have strange hobbies. Like membership in an online street gang. Just sayin’. Not you, Bert.

I deal with this nonsense all the time in my line of work.

The underlying problem in these cases of egregious multiple offenders like this mutant is that traffic violations — including DUI — are considered “motor vehicle offenses,” and not crimes, in every state.

I’d be curious to know if this @sshole’s car was ever impounded after any of his prior offenses. That’s pretty much the only effective measure you can take in those cases.

bert, I have to agree with you. They don't share American values.

Why aren’t they arrested for traffic violations with a revoked license?

I see all these people driving really crazy on the highway these days. Maybe some of them are illegal aliens with revoked licenses or never had a license.

Because it’s not a crime to drive without a license.

The American Jesters System is here to bleed money off the law-abiding conservative chumps.

There's a whole pack of lawgrifters in line with their hand out for that easy "law enfarcement" money.

The only way to stop this lawless crap is for voters to amend their state constitutions doing away with qualified immunity for judges and prosecutors.

If the families could sue the judges and prosecutors who failed to enforce the law, the laws would be enforced.

We’re having the same problems here in El Paso. It was like a curtain went down on sanity and safety 2 years ago. Somebody blew a whistle and yelled “every crazy driver report to the streets.” You get hit in mall parking lots. You get hit in grocery store parking lots. The roads are at your own risk. Half take off, give you the finger, don’t speak English, or don’t even know what they’ve done. It’s like a giant video game to them. Truckers have problems losing their loads because of drivers speeding and changing lanes at whim. But we’re good. El Paso is building more roads.

I thought driving without a license was a misdemeanor in most states.

Another good reason to drive behind a truck in the right lane. Safer, and less stress than racing other cars.
