Any word on what is going on with the original story about the 16 year old?

That story goes from bad to worse
——————-
According to the probable cause statement, Budge told officers she was driving from her home in Hurricane, Utah when she "began to uncontrollably defecate on herself while driving, so she swerved," the arresting officer reported.


She had allegedly been admitted to the hospital the previous day and had been taking fentanyl through an IV drip, she told police.

Arresting documents state that Budge failed all field sobriety tests.

So many crazy people in this world it is scary... I have just started riding again after a long layoff, and my # 1 goal when I ride is to avoid roads/cars, especially after 5pm, people have been working all day, they are grumpy, and they are hungry... I stay out of their way!

Even for the most experienced, road biking is still way more dangerous than skiing.. so is swimming..

The one that has been driving me crazy lately is cyclists going the wrong direction in the bike lane. This is dangerous if I am cycling. This is dangerous if I am driving. It is just stupid, wrong, lazy and dangerous. Now get off my lawn (or outta my bike lane!)

Any more on this original story?

After running over six cyclists on September 25, a 16-year-old driver from Waller County, Texas, was indicted on November 8 with six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and is currently in the custody of the local juvenile justice department. The charge is a second-degree felony with a punishment of two to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.​

Permanently revoke license to start with. Then he can ride a bicycle on the road.

100 percent agreed.

I think that people in these United States seem to believe that driving is a right rather than a privilege that can - and should - be revoked when things to egregiously wrong.
