More Traffic Stories

I'm sorry but I have to share a couple more stories that were in the paper that interest me. It kind of follows the blog about the man in the street. By the way, the driver of the car will not be charged with the aggravated assault but probably the DUI. Anyway, another death involving cars and booze happened but this had a different sort of twist. A 14 yr. old girl was driving a car with another friend and her intoxicated dad when the car slid off the road and got stuck. As the girls waited on the other side of the road and the dad got out to look at the car, he was hit by another car and was killed. The daughter must of been upfront in confessing she was driving the car because that seemed to be the emphasis in the article. They said it was an accident and no one would be charged, even the girl, as she probably suffered enough just by seeing her father be killed. Talk about a gray area! I'm not sure how it came about but she was more than likely left no choice but to drive and not let her drunk dad have control of not only her life but her friend's. Another article on a lighter note was in the editorials where a lady was complaining about getting a parking ticket ($10) on a meter that still had time on it. She paid it already but I wonder if she bothered to look at the license number on the ticket. Could someone have placed their ticket on her car hoping she wouldn't look that hard to see if it was really hers? That really would be a bold move on someone's part because if she had looked and not paid it, he'd really be in trouble.
