Hands free or not in my opinion you shouldn't be yakking on the phone while driving.

I'd be totally down if its setup.

Side note.

I'm fine with a little spirited driving on the tollway, maybe even an open highway. But a city street in the middle of the day? 30 miles over? Thats just asking for trouble. If you are going to speed atleast do it responsibly with other lives in consideration. I don't know if I could live with myself knowing my little lack of control took the life of another human being.

This idiot was driving reckless AND on her phone. Recipe for disaster :shakes head:

Prayers for the family of the victim.

Talking on your phone is just as distracting regardless of whether it is hands-free. Put down the phone or the food or the ipod and FOCUS ON DRIVING while you drive.

Just another call to arms for more people to get manuals. Let's see some jackhole talk on the phone while trying to shift a tricky clutch as is on these cars.

Just because you have money to get a performance car like this, doesn't give you precedence over others to disregard safety and common ****ing sense!!!

What a stupid bitch.

Wow... scares me to know there are many more drivers like this everywhere

& just this morning a car ran a red light making a left turn and cut me off entirely...

Prayers to both parties and family... I hope she gets what she deserves!

Amen...just last night coming home on I-77 during rush hour. All the sudden, the cars in front of me were swerving and changing lanes all over the place. Four lane interstate, with average traffic speed in the 70s. Turns out the commotion is everyone trying to go around this woman in a Honda Civic playing rolling chicane in the third lane (second to the left). She MIGHT have been going 40 MPH. Seriously.

Sure enough...as I go by I look over and she's just yapping away at her cell phone, looking straight ahead, totally oblivious to her surroundings. :mad:

what a dumb khunt... yeah i said it

Dood in cali... this is like normal everyday road user experience. insane.

Hate to say it, but this case is gonna flop!!! Any good lawyer will eat this case up cause the manslaughter charge won't stick with Gorilla Glue. Reckless driving or not, the victim pulled into on coming traffic unless there a stop sign that's not visible in the video. I don't know what the laws are in that state, but back home in Jersey where I've seen this about a dozen times, if you pull into oncoming traffic it's your fault regardless of the speed. One time a car hit an ambulance that blew through the intersection with it's lights flashing, but never slowed down and looked for oncoming traffic, needless to say it got T- Boned and flipped over. They charged the driver saying the ambulance always has the right of way. Went to trial and got thrown out based on witness testimony that ambulance never looked or slow for oncoming traffic. The driver in return sued the city and won a 6 figure payout. This is horrific either way and prayers to both family's, but am I wrong and if so please correct me.

The 370Z driver had the right of way regardless if she was going over the speed limit and using her cell phone. Suppose the 370Z driver died instead of the other woman, would that woman be charged with manslaughter for driving into oncoming traffic.

As terrible as the outcome and as guilty as the 370Z driver is for speeding and distracted driving, but I also had the same thought (from the video evidence, which is shot from too far to tell for sure)- the deceased attempted to cross a major road without taking all necessary precautions.

My thought may be unpopular and in no way am I shifting blame here, but that it what it appears like to me.

The story might not have presented all the evidence.

Meh...Easy come easy go.

:shakes head:

yah, im kinda wondering too how they came up with 30mph..?

sorry to both families. :(
