Office Space.

Exactly! I wasn't under the influence of anything. If i would of missed her the car behind me would of hit her or the car next to me.

If this happend is most other states, they couldn't even take me to court. In FL they have this law that every little thing might add a percentage to being my fault. Saying the windows down, radio on, having a lot of people in the car and on the cell phone adds up to 4% my fault. That's how she is taking me to court.

More or less she did, i to this day still believe she was trying to commit suicide. And it wasn't like it was a intersection or ped crossing, it was a highway. Even if she would of crossed the street there was nothing on the other side but more trees.

LOL - dude don't you have any grandparents?? Old people are senile!! They don't have to have reasons for doing things, she probably didn't even know her own name haha

Was she wearing one of those "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" things around her neck??

hahaha

Your lack of compassion for the lady you KILLED is what troubles me the most. Old Hag? What a fucked up thing to say! This comment makes me have NO sympathy for YOU whatsoever!

Maybe if you realize that the tragedy in this was HER and not you your karma would clear up some.

Accidents happen, dont blame yourself for that. But the lack of respect for a human life you took is what troubles me the most.

The lady you killed can never forgive you for it.... but the people you have to live with the rest of your life can. You may just be 19 but good old fashion respect has no age limitations!

Fuck man, I don't know, but aren't you a dumbass to write those things in a public message board in your situation (if that's even true). I suspect this is bullshit, unless you really want some good pound me in the ass federal prison love.

Agreed. You hit road kill, it shouldn't have been there. You kill a person, some respect is in order regardless of the circumstances.

Ever heard about brakes?

... respect is something you don´t get born with, respect is something you have to teach yourself. respect means understanding. you still have a long way to go, may jail open your eyes and turn yourself into a better person.

... amen !

If he wasn't, he would probably still be in jail dude.

what happened to you suxks a lot

oh yes...and its 50 bitch

Would you not be very very angry at a person if they committed suicide at your expense? I'm not sorry, why would i be sorry for something i had zero control over?

What up peeps.

I live in PA, and i was in a head on collision last year. At the accident they asked me if I wanted to give them blood and if not, lose my license automatically for a year. I gave them my blood bc i wasnt thinking straight, they found chron in my system. Even thought i smoke daily, well not anymore bc i kicked that. I could have smoked 28 days ago, and its still in my system, they said i was impaired on something. I got a great lawyer, i got 30 days in half way house, which is a prison, but i get to go on work release, I got my license suspended for 1 yr, I got 2 yrs of probo. If you dont have anything is your system, making you totally alert. It was just an accident, your insurence will cover it all basically, because you wont have med bills to pay nothing. Just a tragedy to the other family members. You MUST GET a good LaWyer no matter what. Nothing should happen to you. Federal court, county court, whatever its all bullshit. where are you from that you were at keywest and driving home? Find out what the laws state about being in a accident and having agrivated assault, thats what i got, bc i hurt someone. But not bad thank god. Please if you drink and drive you will be fucked. Please dont do that shit. Thank YOu

Isn't this what insurance companies are for?

If this is true, big deal, your premiums might go up.

If I were you, I'd go take a dump on her grave and take a picture of it. Maybe even mail it to the relative that is suing you. That will make you feel better.

"He who shits last, shits the best." Evil Dick July 2003

"fuck" is about all I can say after reading this :eek7

when you ran over granny you slowed down right? I mean its hard to come to a complete stop on the freeway, especially when ya gotta reverse it over her again.
:BangBang:

I hit her, and she slammed on my hood and I started skidding off the road into the grass. She probably skidded for a good 30 feet and she was on the bumper/hood the entire time for the last 5 feet she went down and i couldn't see her. She didn't go under the car really but just out of view.


Sorry if some of the things I say are harsh, mean, and unemotional but i have a million different thoughts going thru my head at once and it is just sometimes hard for me to think clearly.

I really think you need to keep your mouth shut starting now!

Next time, leave the scene and go to a car wash and clean up your car and act like it never happened!

Being sorry for something that happened is not the same as being/feeling guilty. There's a huge difference between guilt and sorrow.
If that was you on the hood of that Jeep, would you expect your parents to say "I'm not sorry, why would i be sorry for something i had zero control over?" They had nothing to do with it, but you can bet your ass they'd be sorry it happened!
Maybe a bad analogy, but you obviously have no concept of the term "sorry", and even less of a concept of the term "respect".

So many pedestrians, So little time

My grandma died to about the same affect...

she decided since it was a drive down the road that she didn't need her glasses...pulled out of her driveway and crash, gone in an instant...the poor girl that hit my grandma's car was about 22...

well, honestly, NO ONE in our family held it against her... in actuality it was my grandma's fault...and we definately felt sorry for this young girl...

sure my mom's mom died and we lost our last grandparent, but thats nothing compared to being the one that hit her and killed her.

Rest assured, you did nothing wrong and as for this woman's granddaughter I hope she realizes that too...

Author,
Your insurance company should take care of that. As long as you werent drunk or under any illegal substance, you should be fine. They will most likely try to sue you personally, but I doubt they would get anything since it really wasnt your fault if she was trying to commit suicide. If she didnt try to commit suicide, then it was an unfortunate accident. Eitherway, Im sure your insurance company will be able to handle that as long as you had insurance.
Dude, its not your fault so dont be too hard on yourself. You didnt kill her on purpose. Its a sad thing to happen, but its not your fault.
Good luck,

Whats up with all these old ladies walking on the highway? Reminds me of the old joke, "why did the old lady cross the road....?":glugglug

Trick by the man

Thats not true. Marijuana will only show up in a blood test within 6-8 hours after smoking it, after which time it gets absorbed into your fat tissues. A urine test will show up positive for a month but not a blood test.

Well, so far we've learned that you were driving, after a week of heavy partying, while talking on your cell phone...

I hate people who talk on the phone while driving. Nobody can tell me that it doesnt influence your attention, thats BS.

If it wasnt for the phone, you might have noticed her on the side of the road, BEFORE she walked in the way.

Hell, it might be true that the person behind you would have hitted her anyway.... but wouldnt that be a whole lot better?

hmm, well I come at this from two different directions.

Firstly, when I was a kid my uncle hit and killed a guy on a bike that was sitting under a bridge at 3am without his lights on. My uncle had one drink but wasn't legally drunk and after a very long trial he did three days in jail. He is also a paramedic and tried to work on the guy when he realised he hit him so was in therapy for a good while.

Secondly, my husband is disabled as a result of being hit by a drunk driver. If you had anything in your system that you should not have had *OR* were overly tired I really don't have that much sympathy. Being overly tired behind the wheel is deadly and a 15 hour journey is a long journey after you have been partying for days.

However, if all was on the up and up you have to remember that someone lost a family member and one thing people do when they going through loss is lash out. You, are the face of their relatives death so they are lashing out. If you did nothing wrong you will be okay.

Thing is though, the things you have said here are on a public board. You never know who might see them and do you want that read by a lawyer? Especially the bits about being an old hag.

A few years ago I was driving though a town and all of a sudden this guy seemed to dive in front of my car.
He was pissed to high heaven and died instantly - Nothing I could have done about it.
Sure plays on your mind for a long time afterwards.
Never had the slightest problem from the police or family over it. But even today, in areas where people and cars mix, I always think it is likely to happen again.

Wow, you surely aren't the smartest kid in the class are you?

You are yet to go to court, but you are making public statements here about your lack of regret. Suppose someone finds out? I'm sure the judge won't appreciate it that much man. Smart move dumbass.

I understand you feel angry because that woman traumatized you in some way. Completely understandable. But you have to understand that even though her grandchild is just "some white trash", she still lost a family member. And your statements about her family say more about you than about them.

You're 19. You know nothing. Perhaps when you get older, you'll learn to understand the value of life for everyone. Untill then, I hope you get over this and keep a few things in mind next time:

- A car has brakes. They are there for a reason. USE THEM when necessary. Someone fucking up the back end of your car is always less important than "taking somebodies life".

- Don't make a long drive directly after a few days of partying. Get some rest before you travel. It helps to keep your eyes open. Make sure you eat properly and drink alot of water to help you to focus.

- Don't, never under any circumstances, call anyone on your cellphone when driving unless you have a headset or car speakers. You will NOT be able to drive and call at the same time.

- Show some respect for her family members. They are just sueing you because they're angry. A simple "I feel sorry about the whole thing" might have been enough not to sue you.

Have a good day, and take some driving lessons will you.

Seb.

Earlier you said you turned and barely hit her with the corner of the jeep you fuck nut. Now, you are saying she slammed on the hood and stayed there for 25 ft?

Go see a psychiatrist bud.

Felt sorry for you till I read this bullshit!

Regardless of whether it was your fault or not. Thats is a fucked up thing to say :2 cents:

he's full of shit, he's probably the asshole that's been breaking into morgues and fucking dead people:321GFY

Cops go thru hard times when they kill (most of them)
I feel like you need to change your attitude, That could
have been your grandma.....You need to feel sorry and
move on, one day at a time! I hope you were not drunk
or druging it! Accident's happen ALL the time!!! Take a
good look at thing's and get some professional help!!!
Killing someone can Haunt you and your dreams for a
long time!! Even after all you have posted I still believe
that you are scared, so start being true to yourself!!!!!

:thumbsup :thumbsup

2-3 years prison time is what you need.

Wow, I was on your side until I found out you were a complete asshole. Bend over, sonny. Let any of that show in court and everything you ever owned will have a lien on it.

Senile people are wise beyond your knowledge... grandma is a hero.

Learn your lessons man -- that's why you're all drugged up. Once you face the real issue you won't be at odds with your body.

karma is a bitch

Life says "fuck you asshole" over and over -- you got to be humble and thankful for what you got, because you don't deserve a fucking thing --

You're living on credit... and I'm not talking about money.

Nobody can tell you "hey everything will be alright" until you are capable of it -- and you're not there yet -- suffering is humbling and that's probably what you need right now -- to be humble... you're off having fun drinking on vacation while some old lady has no money to be looked after her... You know why this doesn't happen to rich people? Because they can afford a full time assistant or a fancy retirement community... old people need to be cared for... and you don't care about anyone but yourself. You won't feel good again until you learn your hard lessons... Educate yourself -- the answers are right in front of your face -- just pay attention.
