Here we go again. Except for a medical event, when you hit a parked vehicle, you lose your license for 3 years.
The vehicle was in the slow lane and partly on the shoulder with no emergency lights on. All traffic had to merge to the fast lane and turn lane via cones. Traffic was heavy and the merge area was short and came up fast. I almost hit it also . Several people almost hit because of you couldn’t merge there was a good chance you would get rear ended
“Lose your license”? Like that stops anyone. ….probably a significant percentage of accidents involve people with no or a suspended license. Need to start giving out jail time to those that are proven threats to the rest of us.
“PROBABLY”….no proof or facts
Admittedly…..thats inherent in the word “probably”. And it was a generic comment, not specific to THIS accident. So what’s your point? That people driving on suspended or no license are fine and not responsible for any accidents? That people who have demonstrated they endanger society shouldn’t be deterred or removed from said society?
