And the woman at fault didn't take the stand?   10 will get you 1000 that she was texting or emailing on her phone.  You see it ALL the time.  And I agree, this law is completely asinine!  These days, all people seem to care about this their self-importance, so I suggest you hit them where it hurts.  You kill someone while driving your car?  Automatic $100,000 fine and a one year license suspension.  No exceptions.
