This is the worst road rage that I've seen in the Lower Mainland.

An SUV driver hits a flagger today in a Vancouver construction zone. :heckno:

hope ICBC caught that license plate

925 XTW

[Infiniti]

Someone just lost their license

[Razor Ramon HG]

It was a Surrey woman. She beat up her two kids shortly after and the kids are with Child Services now.

[ImportPsycho]

wonder what made him take the video... like he knew something bad was going to happen..
so this woman got pissed because she couldn't merge?
just in that video she had plenty of room to merge, before dump truck, before caravan, before infiniti suv, missed all good chances and went in to rage mode?

[iwantaskyline]

Hope she loses her license and gets jail time.

That being said that flagger is a retard for walking directly up to a moving vehicle to "stop" it.

[PeanutButter]

Better to be alive and wrong, than dead and right.

Suspect driver in flagger hit-and-run arrested after allegedly assaulting kids (http://www.burnabynow.com/news/suspect-driver-in-flagger-hit-and-run-arrested-after-allegedly-assaulting-kids-1.20830893)

women must be asian, white parents don't beat their kids Kappa

[twitchyzero]

wonder what made him take the video... like he knew something bad was going to happen..

it was sitting outside of traffic where the construction was happening so I'm assuming there was already a confrontation...the news also reports of an earlier hit

there was no indication the lady was crazy and was going to step on the gas hard
pretty difficult to judge the situation from a short clip

also, pretty stupid to hit-and-run in this situation when you're immediately joining traffic crawling at 10kph :derp:

[white rocket]

"Both criminal and motor vehicle charges are being considered"

Considered? Jee, you fuckin' think? :fulloffuck:

She is actually black. Mid 40s woman. She hit 2 flaggers that day.. damb.

[MarkyMark]

Is there a chance the driver was looking over her right shoulder the whole time and forgot someone was in front of them? Obviously they are retarded but it seems more plausible than just getting fed up and running the person over.

Talk about a menace to society. Or should I say:

disgusting.

[Hondaracer]

Flagging is a real shit job, I've spent 2-3 full days flagging on some of our construction sites due to the way we had to position our concrete trucks etc.

No one ducking listens to you, people aren't paying attention, on their phones, etc.

Have respect for these people and obey their signals cause it's a lot more difficult than just spinning a sign around. Surpassingly simply holding the sign all day is pretty rough lol

that it happened twice in one day and then proceeded to assault her children?

likely not.

It goes both ways though, I've seen a lot of younger flaggers on their phone and not really paying attention to what's going on. I don't even trust people when I'm protected in my truck I wouldn't put my guard down standing in the middle of the street.

Friend of mine is BBY RCMP. She was taken down at Station Square area. Apparently, the 2nd flagger she hit was not far off from this area.

And yes, she will fall under "NCR" - Nor criminally responsible - because of supposed mental issues/disabilities.

that's fuckin horse shit

what the fuck is an unstable nutjob doing behind the wheel

[SkinnyPupp]

Why is everyone failing OP? This is a pretty big local news story :fulloffuck:

[Jmac]

Why is everyone failing OP? This is a pretty big local news story :fulloffuck:
Because it had already been discussed in another thread over 24 hours prior to OP posting a new thread about it.

[SkinnyPupp]

Because it had already been discussed in another thread over 24 hours prior to OP posting a new thread about it.
So basically people are discouraged from posting new threads about current events in the current events forum. Keep everything tucked away in one big long thread, where many people would never even see it if they don't go to that thread every day.

SeemsGood

[twitchyzero]

^ hate the game not the player



what the fuck is an unstable nutjob doing behind the wheel

ICBC kinda doesn't test for that, ya know?

i think lifetime driving ban(better damn well be the ruling) and probably never having custody of her children is hopefully enough motivation to stay under help and medication

or it could go the other way since she has nothing to lose :(

[belka]

No one ducking listens to you, people aren't paying attention, on their phones, etc.

I couldn't handle that as a flagger. I'd have a bin of rocks to throw at windshields for those speeding or texting idiots. At least have a AR15 paintball gun with you. ;)

[6o4__boi]

charges approved

B.C. RCMP - UPDATE: Charges approved in hit and run of flaggers (http://bc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=2087&languageId=1&contentId=51796)

[Ch28]

Charged is 38-year-old Brenda Ouma Aregay of Surrey, B.C.

Charges include two counts of Assault with a Weapon, two counts of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, two counts of Fail to Stop at Scene of Accident, and two counts of Assault.

Glad to see that they're throwing the book at her.

[tegra7]

Probably won't even get any jail time.

[EmperorIS]

Deport her.

[CivicBlues]

Deport her.

To where? Africa?

She's not Asian.......... shit like that only happens to Asians, Gulolol.

Don't think anyone is going to want to be associated with this woman. Jail time, most likely not, but she's going to lose her job (if she had one) and have a hard time living this down. Mind you, people forget easily.

In the end, poor kids. Their mom - not even sure if she was the paternal parent, just made the biggest mistake of her life. She may have easily killed one of the flaggers. Fly off the handle types are scary as hell.

Glad to see that they're throwing the book at her.

My guess is her lawyer will strike a plea deal with crown.
Plead guilty to the 2 counts of driving without due care and 2 counts of leaving the scene of an accident. And for pleading guilty, they will drop the 2 assault and the 2 assault with a deadly weapon charges.

IIRC, those 2 charges are part of the MVA and not criminal so she won't see any jail time but the driving supernintendo might take away her drivers license.

But she wasn't driving an exotic at excessive speeds, gulolol.

[rice cooker]

charges filed. post the fucking pic

Yea lets see how the next election goes....

Berz out.

[CivicBlues]

^Yeah and even if the Conservatives win (which I have no problem with btw) they're still to the left of the Democrats in the US.

Sorry, you live in a Centerist nation. I hear Alabama has room.

Civz out.

[belka]

Edit, didn't see the separate thread. :facepalm:

Result: not criminally responsible and shes back on our roads.

Sounds like the typical blame it on the mental disorder defence and get off scott free cause its Canada. Where perpetrators have more rights than victims

[Mr.HappySilp]

Take her liscense away and ban her from driving for life in Canada.

[Mr.Money]

flaggers need to lawyer up for Personal Injury Claim,theres footage but would most likely take 40-50% cut...better than nothing.

must be something happened before that video, as the SUV was sitting at the wrong side of the road. If I were the flagger, I would stop the traffic just to let it go first.

[hi-revs]

While we're on the topic of merging...
It pisses me the the fuck off when people expect me to come to a complete stop, with fucking cars behind me, to let them merge in! Wtf is wrong with people? Do they not know that THEY need to adjust THEIR speed to merge? The world doesnt fucking stop moving just cuz u gotta change lanes. Fucking people.
I no longer come to a complete stop to let these fuckers in; depending on the situation. Drives me absolutely nuts.

[twitchyzero]

how fast are you going in a construction zone merge?

i see people merging almost immediately when they see cones over a block away instead of zipper merging
