Lacey passing FOUR cars at a high rate of speed in a no passing zone started this deadly chain of events.

With all the back and forth on this topic, I was trying to verify the 4 cars passed info. Didn't his lawyer say that, or am I mistaken? If so, he either was passing in a curve, or passed those four within the 1/4 mile between the exit of the curve and the location of the accident. Exponentially worse than just "passed a few cars and had nothing to do with the accident" mantra.

There are at least 6~8 things, done differently, that could have prevented the accident altogether, or lessened the negative outcome for Kyren, and almost all of them were within his control. Horrible situation for everyone involved.

Others have mentioned GPA, but I put that pretty low on my list. I've come across plenty of worthless 4.x'ers and awesome 2.x'ers.

Even if he doesn't have "professional" level experience ... he's a fresh out ... put summer jobs, campus work, project teams at school, etc. Anything that indicates initiative.

The biggest thing I see lacking in current college grads is give-a-shite and work ethic. I haven't figured out how to interpret that through resumes I see.

Did the deer run out of the Dollar General or the donut shop across the road?

Posted speed limit is 55 MPH. So the lawyer admits Lacy's passing in a no passing zone gave the oncoming traffic ~1.35 sec of reaction time (depending on actual speeds at the time) to avoid a potential collision. Hate what happened to everyone in this situation, but this bombshell isn't the bombshell the lawyer wants you to believe.

Well immigration at DFW was doing this at least three years ago. No showing your passport on arrival, just filter through the booths as it takes your photo and links it to your passport

I can't remember the last airport, let alone major airport, I traveled through that didn't have the facial scans / photos in security.
