Just the opposite is true.She is well liked and respected at work and among people who know her.....she's the first one at work to clean a toilet,sweep the floor or help a mechanic.When I have stopped in to the dealership I have usually found her in the parts dept.....not with her feet up on a desk.
Any one of us,at any time, can make a serious error in judgement that can change our life forever.....she suffered serious injuries,but nothing as bad as losing her friend.
I really think it's time for a little forgiveness.......or at least,backing of some of the inflamatory posts.............just my $.02

Yes you are right, it was her bad luck and our good luck that she was stopped before she either hurt herself or someone else.
Seriously
SAMIAN do you really think that she was speeding because she had so much on her mind that she couldn’t stay within the speed limit? Also how do you know so much about what the trooper did, were you there?
