In 1996 my friend was hit head on by a distracted driver and she was killed instantly. The driver was unlicensed and uninsured and he claimed to not remember any of the details of the accident. He was a teacher in a nearby town; he served no jail time, paid no fines and was even able to get a driving license a few years later. Where's the justice for Elisa?
K W my great-uncle and his granddaughter were killed by a drunk driver but they got justice. But the guy is out of jail now. Hopefully they have changed their ways.
Activate flight mode the minute you get behind the wheel...once you get to where you're heading you can disactivate....that text, that call...they can wait....😢💔
I was thinking the same. Even if it was a Animal I would stop. I always Power my phone off when I get behind the wheel. She read a text and hit a human being... how do you not notice you just hit something as big as a human and not realize that obviously the force of impact would have caused who she hit to be a good distance away. She served 90 days in jail for killing another human being and on top of that leaving the scene of a accident. I'm sorry but this young man's life was worth more than 90 days. He doesn't get to live so why does she get to be free😪
@M Detlef She literally went back to see what it was but it wasn't there. She had no idea she even hit a person. You know how many times deer get hit by cars with such force you'd think they should be dead only to go back and find them not there because they got up and ran off?? Calm down kid and grow up. The internet obviously isn't for you.
I was hit head on by a driver I think was distracted and definitely speeding. He got a £400 fine and nine points on his licence. The points would only last 5 years then he will have a clean license again. Me? I’ve got a wheelchair for life, and constant endless extreme pain. Life is not fair but try to make the most of it and always say I love to those in your life. I’ve made some amazing friends along my journey and have realised that my family is incredible and I love them all very much. Hey I’m alive, my brain still works and I’m running my own business. I’m still able to achieve things, even if it wasn’t the life I imagined, it is still life and that means I will live it.
Karin Mountford I’m so sorry that happened to you and I admire your positivity. Life is definitely not fair. I get distracted easily so I keep my iPhone and Apple Watch on flight mode in my glove box while driving, no audio books and music at lower volume. I focus on my driving. Phone calls, texts and notifications can wait! Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏🙏🙏
Watching this made the tears flow for my face know how no matter how much time she did and obviously it couldn't have been that much cuz she's being interviewed somewhere out in the open she scarred for life the life sentences when she killed that pedestrian real sad
In the state of Georgia, it's illegal to talk on your cell phone with the phone up to your ear in your hand because when Georgia banned texting while driving in 2010, nobody would comply with the law. It was unenforceable. If you are caught with a phone in your hand, up to your ear, or on any part of your body, you will get a warning first. Other times when you get pulled over, you will get a citation. First offense: $50 and 1 point on license Second offense: $100 and 2 points Three or more offenses: $150 and 3 points It goes up each time. If you receive 15 points within a 24 month period AKA 2 year period, your driver's license will be suspended. 📵 If you don't follow that law, you don't need to be driving. What you can use to abide by the hands-free law: 1. Smartwatch 2. A cradle on the speakerphone 3. Bluetooth system in your vehicle 4. Earbuds can be used but you can only have one earbud in and you can only listen to the people you are talking to. You can not have music through them and you want to keep 1 ear open so you can hear traffic and emergency vehicle sirens. You need to be aware of what's going on around you.
@@Susanarylander Did you not hear the part where she turned around and went back to see what it was but nothing was there?? It happens all the time when peoppe hit animals. No one can honestly say that they've stopped for every animal thats ever hit their car. I know i don't. Especially when i hit deer i never go back or stop unless it's hunting season and i dont know many other people that do either.
These young teenage drivers, there not smart, not responsible, etc. There to busy being cool, texting, etc while driving. Ends up tragic. So dam sad. I lost my cousin from this irresponsible kids. Wtf
Salma Ahmed are you dumb? Her interview took place outside. While in normal clothes. While she has a nose piercing. And eyeliner. She'd have none of that if she was locked up.
There has been many occasions where distracted drivers could of harmed or killed me as a pedestrian.A lady drove through a red light while me and my daughter in a pram crossing the road i pulled back and saved me and my daughter.I followed the lady driver into the shop shouted at her she didnt care she said she was busy.Why is it up to the pedestrian to be hyper alert because of these useless drivers.
Okay so in 2014 that was four years ago she is out of jail already when did she do this freaking interview you kill someone you need to be in jail for the rest of your fucking life

I wonder how many people still text and drive even after watching these
PEOPLE WILL NOT STOP....THE PHONE HAS TO BE OFF ITS THE ONLY WAY I HIDE MY PHONE NOW ITS NOT WORTH IT
Too many, sadly.
How does one hit something as large as a human and keep driving?
@M Detlef dude- calm down

Watch on flight mode in my glove box while driving, no audio books and music at lower volume. I focus on my driving. Phone calls, texts and notifications can wait! Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Slynn B. Thanks for being a very considerate driver. Your actions will definitely save a life
I am so sorry Karin! 💜💜💜
As a driver choose to be responsible
Watching this made the tears flow for my face know how no matter how much time she did and obviously it couldn't have been that much cuz she's being interviewed somewhere out in the open she scarred for life the life sentences when she killed that pedestrian real sad
Is that all you were concerned about? "...doing some time..."

I'm surprised she hit a person and couldn't tell from the crash what it was
Tbh i wouldve thought I hit an animal .
But, why didn’t she stop?

@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin You're*. If you are going to call someone a moron at least have proper grammar skills.
WELL SHE NEEDS TO JOIN THE JACOB STORY SPREAD THE WORD AND HELP PREVENT MORE DEATHS
And yet, there she is, outdoors, free. Sick.
These young teenage drivers, there not smart, not responsible, etc. There to busy being cool, texting, etc while driving. Ends up tragic. So dam sad. I lost my cousin from this irresponsible kids. Wtf
how long is here sentence?
She's sentenced to life
Salma Ahmed are you dumb? Her interview took place outside. While in normal clothes. While she has a nose piercing. And eyeliner. She'd have none of that if she was locked up.
Tf you're 1 year late to replying to this I freaking forgot I even watched this. You clearly do NOT know how to use the internet omg yikessss
Salma Ahmed I still got a response fast af, apparently I do. Dumbass
and wuts ur response...

I don't think she's doing life.
I dont know how much years she's doing
😃😃😃😃
She served 90 days in prison
@M Detlef Shut up kid
people text and drive all the time does not matter what they see..it is an addiction the phone
Okay so in 2014 that was four years ago she is out of jail already when did she do this freaking interview you kill someone you need to be in jail for the rest of your fucking life
so she got a life sentence for hitting a man, while she was distracted? um
Does she look like she's in prison? Probably got 30 days. The "Magic V" always protects. Notice that she isn't even identified other than "Maria"?
No, your mother wasn't "two parents in one". She can't be your father. She denied you the opportunity to have a father.
You werent there, you dont know. Plus that is besides the point.
Ok judge fukn Judy take it easy there
