Driving illegally without insurance, leaving the scene, ....
But the part that may have been weirdest: Her ex-husband was driving her to meet her boyfriend?
And why in the world was the passenger not doing the driving?
You have to think that this woman should never be allowed behind the wheel of a car under any circumstances.

The only logical answer, given the other parts of the story....He was drinking?

was voluntary....especially if he was paying alimony and getting her hitched would get him off that hook. Still, I have to wonder just where do these people come from? Someone here in SE would occasionally use the term, "They walk among us". Seems fitting in cases like this.

is why anyone would need a law to tell them that?? The world is full of idiots! LOL

GEORGE: Oh, was that wrong? I gotta plead ignorance on this one.

of wise men." And yes, the world is full of idiots, but more to the point. Who among us hasn't made a foolish choice sometime or other? If everybody acted wisely, and sensibly, we wouldn't need laws at all. People act in their own selfish interests most of the time, and do stupid things like get angry and act, or get drunk and act, or simply take advantage of others, of which Bernie Madoff is only an extreme example.
In the matter of cell phones, people didn't see the danger, it wasn't immediately apparent to the average person, therefore you need a law.
I gather that the cell phone law in California has reduced accidents by 20% since its enactment. Sadly I don't have a link to that, but I heard it while channel surfing. Perhaps Google will reveal the correctness or incorrectness of that figure. Even if it's 5% it's a worthwhile law.

I have seen the 20% statistic before, but as an isolated number it means almost nothing. There is evidence that the overall trends in California are not different from the trends in neighboring states that did not enact a ban.
I don't text while driving, and I use a headset when I do use my cell phone for talking, I but DO NOT believe that the main problem is hand held cell phones. The problem is distracted drivers, and the distractions go WAY beyond just holding onto a phone. Distractions can come from passengers, the radio, phones, pagers, coffee cups, GPSs, girlfriends/boyfriends ... and IMCO it is SILLY to think that banning hand held cell phone use will do much to reduce accident risk.
