in an exact area where the speed limit changes from 50 to 40.


Are there no signs indicating speed limit is going to change from "x" to "y"?

She should have been already slowing down if that is where the speed limit changes, otherwise she either stays at 49.6 mph or would hard brake to obey the speed limit change.


Edited to add: Many years ago, I got a speeding ticket on Corporate? in BR in between 2 speed limit signs where speed limit was increasing but I wasn't there yet. I was RCH close. I have seen signs on Hwy 1 indicating speed limit changes. Are there signs like this along 20?

if Lacy had cleared as you claim, why did he bail into the first place?


Everything happened within seconds, not minutes, of each other.

I'd bet that gold truck started his maneuver right before Lacy made it back to driving in proper lane.

I'd also bet that since he had slowed down and Funyuns didn't, that she was paying more attention to eating and music than to what was happening on the road.

An aside: I have the TV on and there's a PI attorney talking about distracted driving, ECM computers and what they monitor, eating while driving and I'm sure you'll find a reason to disagree, that Funyuns HAD to be in her FUNyuns zone and not paying attention. The funyuns were in her lap. What if it was something else in her lap? She was in no way 100% paying attention to her surroundings and driving defensively.

THIS.

Had she been a safe distance behind the gold truck, and paying full attention instead of driving distracted, she could have safely maneuvered away from any danger just like he did.

So now that we have established that Lacey's behavior was dangerous. Had he not passed the 4 vehicles at a high rate of speed on a two lane road with no shoulders.... would that danger be missing from the equation that caused 2 deaths?

one person died

Lacey broke the law speeding
Lacey broke the law passing illegally
Lacey didn't stop

get out of here with it was avoidable narrative

that's shifting blame from the person who did a bunch of things all wrong/unlawful

Not saying he was a bad person, but damn,

He makes more sense now

he was feeling incredible guilt for a death, leaving the scene and the entire state down on him...

His attorney is trying to save face and create a lawsuit against LSP but I don't see a case anymore after that evidence dropped yesterday

I think the other post was talking about he who drove the gold truck maneuvered away from a possible head on collision.

Poster wasn't talking about KL.

Does this really matter? a green charger driving at a high rate of speed head on in the wrong lane caused all of this!!

I assume they mean with the actual crash. If anyone disagrees that passing four vehicles in a NPZ isn’t against the law well .. that is nuts.

Of course it matters.

Everyone behind the wheel is responsible for their part played in the accident.

Someone in front of you making an illegal pass does not mean you are no longer required to follow the laws of the road.

Perhaps she was, and her judgement was going around was the more prudent move in the moment. Perhaps she wasn’t. You can’t prove any of this one way or the other. But you CAN prove that the Charger triggered the chain of events.

but a reasonable and prudent driver doesn’t drive so close to the car in front of them they can’t stop safely in an emergency.


Without an objective standard to compare to gathered evidence, or a LEO to witness and assess the conditions and render judgment in real time, this is ultimately just your opinion. Completely unprovable and useless in a court of law. This is almost certainly why her citation was revised.

So just say that this is your opinion and stop pretending that it’s anything more.

It depends. If you want to get persnickety, everyone involved technically violated at least one traffic law. But you are allowed to take evasive action in these situations even though a technical law is violated in the process.

An example would be gold truck swerving off the road and entering a business at a high rate of speed. No citation because he was making an evasive maneuver to avoid collision.

That witness in the body cam footage that Lacy's own lawyer posted said that the charger was coming "head on" at him if you re-watch the police officer getting that witness statement from the black guy in the gold truck LINK Watch 4:36 into this video and tell me that the main witness didn't have to evade Kyren.


That was the officer that said make sure you put that you had to slam on your breaks to avoid the green charger. The driver said he didn’t have to slam on his breaks and that the lady behind him clearly over reacted because she wasn’t paying attention and like a typical woman driver she almost hit him and then chose to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting him. Not the charger. Sounds like the accident happens regardless if Lacy was there or not.

Yes. You can see the gold truck bail off into the car wash parking lot adjacent to the gas station where the video was captured- slightly blocked by a sign in the foreground. According to Ory, the speed calculation for that brief clip was approximately 28mph.

So there’s contradictions everywhere. If Lacy was back in his lane “nowhere near the accident”, why did the gold truck bail? And if he bailed unnecessarily, why was he not cited like Lacy and Funyuns? Further, how can Ory contend that the gold truck was only driving 28MPH while being tailgated by a Kia traveling 49 without a collision occurring between the two?

The moral of the story here, don’t trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer.

No of course not. That was perfectly safe

It's eating funyuns and listening to music that's dangerous

Please don't ever be a juror- your words lack common sense and/or absence of the available video evidence

WHY DID THE GOLD TRUCK SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD AND THE PRECISE TIME GREEN CHARGER WAS IN HIS LANE COMING AT A HIGH SPEED?

By your logic "Gold driver had to stop and take a piss, when you gotta go, ya gotta go"

Her fault

To which the witness immediately agreed.

He said he didn’t skid, not that he didn’t brake. This keeps getting repeated here and it’s not correct.

It sounds like he took the parking lot to escape both the green charger and avoid being rear ended
