I just came across this:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/driver-die...

Whilst a young woman dying on the roads is tragic the way she managed it is surely worthy of a Darwin award. Perhaps this should be more widely publicised in an effort to stop the huge proportion of younger females who are concentrating more on their phone than their driving.

I feel for the truck driver.

Her death was self-inflicted so no sympathy.

Hopefully some good will come of it if it persuades a few others to pay attention to their driving, although I consider this unlikely.

Yes, entirely her fault but sad nonetheless. So many people (particularly females) seem to view driving as a distraction from using their phones and not worthy of their absolute concentration, one would hope such stories might change their attitudes but I highly doubt it frown.

32 years old.

Pathetic and contemptible in equal measure.
