That tears it - I'm not letting my wife drive my car. :) http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking_news/story/411662.html Man dies -- run over by wife's Corvette Posted on Fri, Feb. 08, 2008 ORANGE PARK -- (AP) -- A Clay County man has died after his motorcycle was struck from behind by his wife's Corvette. The Florida Highway Patrol said 62-year-old Thomas Robinson had pulled up to a stoplight in Orange Park with his wife, 63-year-old Annette Robinson, following him in her car Wednesday night. Authorities said the wife may have been distracted when her car rode up onto the motorcycle. Thomas Robinson was thrown off and run over by the Corvette. He died at the scene. FHP said the accident is still under investigation and it is unlikely charges will be filed.

How can they not charge this husband killer?? The death was entirely her fault. The vile and infidel swine and swine sodomizer "Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS," in an affront to Allah (Praises be unto His Name) and all who are Righetous and Holy, left this blasphemous prose in rec.autos.driving: >WHAT?????? How can they not charge this husband killer?? The death >was entirely her fault. That is not important. What is important is your continued evasion of the following issue: Have you ever driven a car faster then the posted speed limit? Imam Widdershins Sloth is a Deadly Sin > WHAT??????

I agree with something it wrote. > ) -Dave There is a widespread prejudice against motorcycle riders. Watch any article in which a driver who is not drunk kills a biker. There is almost never a prosecution, and even when the circumstances are egregious - driving on the wrong side of the road, excessive speed, leaving the scene of the accident - the penalty is incredibly light. It happens time and again. I've had a car driver go road rage and try to run me over - he tried twice. Got him to the police station. Spent two and a half hours trying to get them to arrest him. The highway patrol first lied to me, telling me since it was a citizen's arrest I would have to personally prosecute it. Then they claimed there were no witnesses, until I insisted they check the 911 logs. When they found a call relating to it, they demanded every phone number of mine, insinuating I made the call. They searched me, went through my pockets - and treated the guy I'd done the citizen's arrest on with nothing but utmost courtesy. Even after I got a supervising sergeant I couldn't get them to arrest the guy. The motorcyclist is assumed to be suicidal, I guess, but when a cage driver kills one, nothing happens. Watch the news stories of these incidents, you'll see it time and time again. Bo Raxo Dave: << snip S&DDAM bull crapola >> > OK, the world is officially ending.

I'd say running over your own husband qualifies as a very geezer-like act. But if someone posts the life insurance policy specs., my opinion might change. :) -Dave >On Feb 11, 9:24 am, Scott in SoCal <scottenazt...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> On Mon, 11 Feb 2008 05:13:29 -0800 (PST), Larry Bud [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >qualifies as a very geezer-like act.

That Windows Mail crap that you're using now doesn't quote text properly when you make a reply, making it extremely difficult to tell who said what.

Actually, it's only certain posts that do that. You'll see that your own works fine. I think it's a GIGO situation. I've noticed the same thing on some posts running puppy linux. Can't blame THAT on Windows Mail. :) -Dave >> Just a suggestion, but you might want to get a real newsreader.

I think it's a GIGO situation. I disagree. Agent, for example, never fails to quote correctly. And it's smart enough not to include .signatures in the quoted text.

The article doesn't say that she confused the pedals, but that she just didn't stop in time and basically rear-ended him. Hell, for all we know, he pissed her off and she did it on purpose! >> >Ridiculous.

They leave the exact cause of the rear-ending unstated, but 9 times out of 10 when you hear about something like this happening to an elderly driver it's Pedal Confusion.

And you know that how? Anyway, 63 isn't elderly. 83 is elderly. Much more like that it's slow reaction time, inattentiveness, or poor vision/depth perception. >> On Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:51:00 -0800 (PST), Larry Bud >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >And you know that how? Anyway, 63 isn't elderly. 83 is elderly. Depends entirely on the person. Some people start to go senile at 50, whereas some are sharp as a tack even into their 90s. My bet is that this woman was an early bloomer... SignaturePlease don't give financial rewards to trolls - DO NOT CLICK on any URLs containing "calrog.com" |
