yeah think so too ...

I would like to see how those here in the thread would react if you drive in your car and someone elso causing an accident with you at no fault and then the parents of that one who caused the accident who was at 100% fault sue you for $1mio ...

edit:
still sad for the victims and families ... on both sides.

Well, that's the kicker. The Post article specifies that she hit them from behind. While it seems not to be the case in Canada, where I come from if you hit someone from behind, you are at fault, period. So I can't really sympathize with her at all.

They failed to stop. They pulled out in front of her, apparently. In Canada that makes you at fault. 

Your forgetting that she was speeding (10km over). In Canada, that makes you at fault as well. 

not always,  the police do an investigation and accident reconstruction.   If your going 10 over and someone t-bones you, is it still your fualt?    you can also be ticketed for driving to slowly as your a danger and a hazored, and riding side by side taking up the entire lane is pretty much the same as an extremly slow moving vehicle.
