As a driver of any vehicle you are responsible for being aware of the road, conditions, and all other vehicles around you. The Judge should have been a better driver. This should be a case of Vehicular manslaughter.

Several years ago. I was on the undivided portion of a six-lane arterial in a business district. When I stupidly, 'hugged the curb'. I paid for it. By getting knocked off the road. Thankfully, It was only a block away from the nearest firehouse. I didn't sustain any injuries. But I was definitely, not a 'happy camper'.
