It may be obvious that this incident wouldn't have happened if Adenaw was following Keep Right Except To Pass. Vo probably snapped after being stuck behind too many LLBs and took out his anger on Adenaw. It's easy to reduce road anger by following Keep Right Except To Pass and yielding to faster traffic in the passing lane.

" Buttery denied the request to release Adenaw on bond, saying that although he is a permanent resident of the United States, his Maryland residency could make him a flight risk. " What, they're afraid he will flee . . . to MARYLAND? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! -Dave

(although I've never heard of anyone being ticketed for it.) I'd like to know why the charges were dropped, and why he wasn't also charged with failure to keep right. Sounds like an all around jackass, testimonials given in the article to the contrary. I mean, it's about as easy to get a license in MD as it is to buy a box of cereal, so it shows some pretty blatant disregard for the law to not have one. nate

The article has precious few facts to go on and you're jumping to these conclusions? All we "know" -- and we don't even really know it -- is that the driver who died allegedly pulled some pretty weird moves to try to get around the other driver. We don't know why -- could be a LLB, though it cpould be something else. Sometimes drivers will go psycho for weird reasons unrelated to LLBing. Either way, sounds like the guy got what he had coming threatening another person by approaching his vehicle. That's just dumb. brink

So it sounds like Adenaw was either blatantly LLBing or had cut off Vo, and was also deliberately making it difficult for Vo to pass. Sounds pretty typical for around here, sadly. nate |
