Teenage girl was texting a the wheel through on of our construction areas. It was a non-union crew working, but in order to satisfy the locals a union electrician was hired to simply hold a sign along the road.
Girl ran over the poor guy and didn't even know it.
Stuff like this just makes me nuts. A vehicle is the deadliest weapon available to the average citizen, and vehiclular manslaughter is treated with less severity than if a homeowner was to shoot an intruder!
Just recently a drunk Chicago cop was released after a judge dismissed criminal charges for killing to guys when he plowed through an intersection doing 2-3 times the speed limit in the city. The cops purposely fouled the events immediately after the wreak, but the fact that this guy killed two innocent people was clear as could be.
I have no patience for bad drivers when I'm on my bike.
