RIP Anita. I hope they nail that dumb bitch to the wall. It's one thing to accidentally take someone out but painting your nails?! WTF?

There's still some question about whether a charge is going to be laid?! IT'S RECKLESS DRIVING YOU IDIOTS!!

Suppose she had hit Sally on her bicycle on her way to school...do you think there would be any hesitation about charges?

ralistically, yes. they only have vehicular homicide charges and such if your on the bottle or the pipe. if your sober and just a plain idiot the most she will get will probably be a citation for inattentive driving. it happens all the time.
if thye find anything in her urine or blood then she will get nailed.

Screw that. At the very least it's negligent homicide.
I don't really see much difference between driving drunk, and painting your goddamn fingernails behind the wheel. Both show an utter lack of concern for the safety of others.
I'd be happy if her license was permanently revoked, but sadly, once her lawyer gets done explaining how the "nice christian lady feels just awful" it probably won't even come to that.
Keep an eye on your mirrors at intersections people, there's a lot more where she came from.

.....she will get nailed.
I hope she will get "de-nailed": one by one, very slowly with a rusty old pair of pliers and no painkiller

Sitting at a stop light in Destin (FL) during spring break a few weeks ago a HUGE SUV fishtailed at the last second behind me. All I could do was watch, dumbfounded, in the mirror. I froze. Not exactly a great reaction if I want to live...:scratch:
Yesterday at a stop light the second guy in line, in the lane beside me, rear ended the car in front of him, just wasn't 'expecting' the red light I guess. What if that had been a motorcycle? From the look of the car that got hit, there wouldn't have been a rider anymore....
R.I.P. rider, I hope your family finds some peace... somehow... and I hope the cage driver somehow manages to learn something from this.

I blame the car manufacturers - I mean, they are the ones that put in cup-holders, radios, GPS, video, do-dads, and somewhere this woman could PUT fingernail polish.

It is infuriating to read things like this. It will be even more infuriating when she gets a slap on the wrist after essentially murdering someone through carelessness.

Right, because there can't possibly be more than one Lora Hunt. Make sure you have the right one there, kiddo. :wink:
This entire incident shouldn't surprise us. I'm freaked out - I'm pissed off - it's incredible. But, I don't go around sending messages to some random account just because it has her name on it.

Yeah, I found a Laura Hunt in Chicago in Facebook, but left it alone because I couldn't be sure it was the same one. I was going to message her and kindly request that she kill herself.

When in traffic, I never stop behind a car. I always stop left of the driver's taillight where I can see their face in the mirror. Also, if a car doesn't stop, I get, at worst a glancing blow from the car as it slams into the rear of the car in front

...or struck by the idiot in the next lane who isn't paying attention either. :idk: Either way you're still at risk. I kind of do the same but I always pull to the side with no lane next to it if there are multiple lanes.

My mother was killed by someone else's reckless vanity. We need full prosecution for this offense. We need stricter reckless vehicular homicide legislation. Too many drivers are multi-tasking, oblivious to their reckless decisions. Too many good people are dying.
IF going 55 mph, Lora had 20 seconds (I timed it) from the time you can see the traffic light to have some recognition of the intersection & the possibility she might need to stop. Either she was completely oblivious for 20 full seconds or she made multiple reckless decisions to continue painting her nails while driving through an intersection. No skid marks. Kill a biker, go to prison!
Our family would be honored if any of my mom's fellow riders would like to attend her funeral services & support motorcycle safety/awareness.
Ahlgrims Funeral Home (Lake Zurich, IL)
Visitation - Thurs 5/7 3pm to 9pm
Funeral Service - Fri 5/8 @ 10am
If you cannot attend but would like to support our cause. Sign this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/sabiker/petition.html Please write/call the Lake County States Attorney, your local & state Representatives & Senators to express your disgust over the current state of affairs.

These things never make any difference, but I signed anyway. My thoughts are with the family.

I'll keep poking tmall with a stick though, because he takes me too seriously. :whistle:
I'm just so very tired of motorcyclists being seen as "unsafe." That WE are the ones out there looking for someone to maim/kill us. Just REALLY tired of it. Sure, we aren't safe - but, texting while eating a donut and drinking a coke, putting on mascara and doing their nails IS safe??!?! Talk about a lack of common sense.
