… and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?

    90% of these I see involve a pickup.

    Maybe the driver should be forced to drive compact vehicles for several years.

    That said it does seem like it could be a texting and driving situation which would warrant more punishment.

    I’m usually against technology lock outs but I do long for cars to be able to limit phone functionality while driving.

        Honestly, there are now lots of eye tracking software that can be used to check if someone is looking where they’re supposed to. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be common in the near term as we’re forced to look at ads…

        Aside from that, fuck cars.

          My car turns off cruise control if you look away from the road for any length of time.
