Let’s hope it’s jail time and license revoked for life. He took the life of another person knowing full well the law of move over or slow down. The driving culture needs to change as well. Everyone looks 10 feet in front of them and not further down the road for upcoming obstructions. There’s also this mentality where “This is my lane ! Don’t you dare come in it !” Police do nothing nowadays to enforce the laws and just let it happen.
