"Despite that, (Vanderweit’s actions are) considered a

away with a slap on the wrist."

She should never be allowed to drive again.



I just watched the local report:

Something similar happened a few years ago here, in Thailand, a pickup
hit and killed two cyclists. Although with somewhat different results.

"truck driver, 25-year-old Worapong Sangkhawat, was seriously injured
in the crash. He told police his truck hit the cyclists as he was
reaching down to pick up a cap from the vehicle's floor...

The driver faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving, which
carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail."

What I don't understand is how any driver can NOT SEE a group of FIFTEEN OR MORE bicyclists. That alone staggers the mind plus the fact she was driving 10 mph over the speed limit.
