Yea, lets not pass judgement of someone going 100mph. Must've been a stroke.
I'll have to remember that next time I'm pulled over for speeding. Gee officer, I can't remember a thing.

If the driver "doesn't remember anything", why in the hell did she stop!? She was 'in control' enough to handle the car doing 100 mph and jump some tracks, but can't remember hitting 3 motorcycles!? Bullshit!! She should be hanged in the town square and left for the buzzards.

Good point. At 100 MPH, if you let off the accelerator, how long does it take a vehicle like a Saturn to come to a complete stop? Or your motorcycle?

I'm betting it was farther than 2 city blocks unless it was stopped by a telephone poll or she hit a building.

Another possibility is that the driver of the Saturn was either talking on her cell phone or texting. Who knows? The report didn't say anything about any kind of medical condition, so me thinks "she doesn't remember" is just an excuse.

$1.25 Million Bond, at least the town seems to be taking this very seriously!

It really turns my stomach to read about an incident like this. If the lady doesn't have a legitimate medical condition she should be charged with murder not manslaughter.
