incompetentShockingly light punishment for speeding Mercedes driver who killed couple and their babies at SF bus stop
I mean, good?
Punishment doesn’t solve anything.
The deterrent effect can help.
More importantly, the street design (and possibly traffic engineer or engineering protocols) should be dragged over the coals right now. That’s how you stop the next death.
In this case though, there was really nothing about the street or traffic design that was the problem. This is actually insane.
The intersection near where this happened is quite a cluster fuck. But not in the direction that the driver was driving NOR where the family was standing And the driver was going so fast it literally obliterated a steel traffic stop. Like ripped it out of the ground.
They’ve changed the intersection, but traffic design had nothing and will do nothing for what happened in this instance.
Yea, 3 year suspended license. I’m sure when she can drive again at 83, she’ll be a better driver. Honestly the standards (or lack thereof) is insane. People should be regularly tested regardless of age to see if they’re competent to drive.
Definitely agree on that one, driving should be taken as seriously as flying for licensing.
