QUESTION: Was the car that hit her visible on Google StreetView? If it was, then she has no case.

anyone using mapquest or google directions...knows they do so at their own peril...one can get left in the oddests places....i was left on a freeway in sf....there was no exit 5...but what do you do....i thought about just sitting on the freeway till someone ran over me...but alas....i decided to drive on..

and who needs directions to walk from one side of town to another?

The same people who can't drive or shop without a phone in their ear.

Any judge worth his salt would fine the shit out this stupid bitch and file a complaint against the idiot lawyer that took on this case!

Just plain sad. That is why there are idiot warnings all over products today. There should be CRIMINAL repercussions to this type of behavior as it is far more damaging than most drug use is anyway (and likely committed with it).
