Oh, good grief. Hard of thinking, or what?

There is no evidence whatsoever to substantiate the claims being made. None. Gary Morris wasn't paying attention to the road ahead and struck a stationary vehicle - a bleedin' great truck, no less. If he didn't see the truck and didn't see the hazard warning flashers, what makes the petitioner so sure that he would have seen a warning triangle? Apart from wishful thinking.

Because to believe otherwise is to accept that people are sometimes to blame to their own accidents.

And in 2009, that view cannot be allowed to propagate...

To be fair, the lorry could have been just round a bend and the road may have been greasy, so a warning trianglemight have made a difference. Having said that, that is no reason to make them compulsory. To take Julia's point, it not so much that people can't be held to blame for their own accidents, it has to be somebody else's fault (i.e it can't just be bad luck), otherwise, there's no-one to sue.

Normally I'd say it's fine to point and laugh at a bansturbator, but in this case I see the petitioner has the same surname as the deceased.

It looks like a bereaved relative- can't you cut her some slack? It's hard to be objective if you've lost someone close.

Sure, but you shouldn't encourage then in their attempts to ruin everybody else's life no matter how well-intentioned.

True- but "encouraging people in their attempts to ruin everybody else's life" is one thing, and "kicking a woman when she's down" is something else entirely.

Legislation should not be enacted to help the bereaved in their attempts to deny responsibility. Other forms of comfort are far more effective, in the long run.
