I got slammed into while stopped at an intersection last year. Still dealing with injuries and insurance companies.
While I don't know for a fact she was texting, you know what the penalty is in KY for texting while driving? $25. No wonder people ignore the law.

- vogt 4y agoI got blasted by a college-aged girl who was driving ~50 MPH through a red light at 11PM early this year. I credit the Tesla safety systems for my lack of physical injuries. Mentally though, a whole other story. Apart from the witness who was behind me (who was crying and shaking as she approached my car from the trauma of seeing the impact), it didn’t seem like the police or any bystanders gave a shit beyond getting the accident cleared out. I was expecting them to sobriety test her or be ticketed or something, but she hid in her vehicle until her parents showed up and that was that. It was three months until insurance paid out, and we amassed a couple grand worth of debt in rentals so my wife could get to work. That one is on me for not getting the rental coverage, I won’t make that mistake again next time. All this to say, I am certain that driver is back on the road and won’t face any consequences other than a more expensive policy. Just infuriating.
