This is not a trivial inquiry, I ask this given the respect I had for you at Taylor. But of course please disregard this if it holds no interest for you!!

Case in point: just last week, a North Carolina woman received a prison sentence of less than 18 months for hitting and killing a bicyclist last November and fleeing the scene. Her license had been revoked at the time, too. Although it appears no phone distractions were involved, it was evident nonetheless she had no business placing herself behind the wheel of a vehicle. It’s interesting that the prosecutor used words similar to yours to characterize her behavior.

My impression is that the relatively light sentence didn’t sit well with the community, either.
