Dominic Boeing, 22, had 13 previous traffic violations within 4 years, still had a driver's license, killing a 64 year old bicyclist hauling tree branches at 3am off Bay Pines Blvd.
Dominic fled the scene, leaving the person he stuck to die.
Dominic called police after he sobered up at home and got the drugs out of his car. Charged with leaving the scene involving death.
People who shouldn't be driving are driving because it's required to do pretty much anything in many areas.
The legal system is hesitant to take someone's license permanently because that's debilitating. People who get their licenses taken away drive illegally because they need to keep their jobs or go to the store.
When are we going to start recognizing the costs of car-centric infrastructure?
Last month, an 81yo old woman drove into my daughter's school. Literally. This is an elementary school consisting of Kindergarten to 2nd grade. She crashed THROUGH the outer wall, across the entire width of the gym, and into the doorframe leading to a hallway. Thank fuck there wasn't a gym class oe any other event going on at the time (this was during school hours, about 10:45am). Seeing the photo that shows you where she drove across the width of the room, the speed she must have had to go through and and across before finally crashing to a stop? If there had been a class taking place it would have been devastatingly catastrophic. The notification of an incident and students sheltering in place and having to go pick her up because they were dismiasing early was fucking nerve racking.
The driver, who was fine, very minor injuries, was cited with careless driving. Ef that noise. Idgaf if she was just some confused old bitty or about losing a license being a hinderence, some people deserve to and should not be permitted on the road. Call me heartless if you want, but face the fear of hearing about a car crashing THROUGH your kid's school and waiting for details about whether or not anyone was hurt, it tends to give you pretty strong feelings on the subject.
It's kinda weird how you're thoroughly supporting my point but talking like you disagree with me.
I also agree these people shouldn't be driving. That should be clear.
The problem is our infrastructure. The way our cities are laid out. That's why this happens. People who shouldn't be driving are still on the roads because of systemic pressures.
She was not going to the store… she was distributing illegal drugs. So I guess her job?
So… the lady who killed an 88 year old walking his dog. All while she was driving recklessly and distributing drugs, after being arrested and cited 100+ times for the same, is to be considered the victim of a “car centric society”.
The Olympic level mental gymnastics that you needed for this thought is truly spectacular. Bravo.👏
I don't really get the horse & buggy joke. Trains are better than cars in most ways, so it's not like I'm talking about becoming Amish.
Cars kill more people per year, but nobody wants to talk about it.
Driving is a "privilege" that's required to participate in society in most areas. We're not building our infrastructure like it's a privilege. We're exposing ourselves to the danger of getting hit by cars when people are driving while distracted, intoxicated, incompetent, etc.

It's sad that we have to fear for our lives when walking our dogs.
Same shit happened in Seminole, FL yesterday.

Amazing how you jumped out of your way to dodge the point and then accused me of gymnastics.
Humans should never have abandoned the horse and buggy-centric infrastructure. 🫠🙃
Fuck their jobs, fuck their inconvenience. Driving is a privilege, owning a firearm is a right. Guess which kills more per year?
