I have an inexperienced driver (4 years of experience to be precise). She drives like a little old lady, always 5 miles under the speed limit. I constantly have to tell her that sometimes you have to drive at the speed limit so the tailgaters behind you don't fly into a rage. |

He stomped on the gas to make the light not to avoid an accident. Had he been going even 50mph this thread would not exist. 81mph and he's going to have a rough time in prison. Like really rough as an 18y.o. surrounded by hard core criminals will pay dearly for his crime every day he's behind bars. |

Yeah, he doesn't sound like he ever was Tech material. |

| You are clearly very young and have not developed complex empathy and thinking yet. It is okay to admit someone that you knew and considered a friend did something horrible. |

| Speeding up and turning closer to the curb side to avoid the car before it completely blocks both lanes sounds like a perfectly normal and reasonable reaction which is definitely safer at the moment than slamming the brakes knowing you won’t make it and end up t boning the car that’s not yielding. You guys know what’s the part no one cares to think about, it’s how the other driver admitted to seeing Usman coming then saw pedestrians and when the pedestrians were done he never cared to check again where that car is(shahid) and initiated the which caused shahid to try swerving him. That’s literally his words how he never checked again and I beg you to ask anyone who was at the courtroom 2 days ago when the other driver spoke. If the other driver checked and yielded no one would have died. He’s just at fault of the girls dying. Both their actions caused it and both of them should deal with the consequences. |

| No the spoiled brat going 80 miles an hour near a high school is the only one at fault here. |

| Like I said you are admittedly very young like the driver himself so one day it will hit you. Complex and multifaceted thinking and empathy. |

Should we ask the jury? Because they were “at the courtroom 2 days ago” and don’t appear to agree with you. |

| Why are you ignoring the fact that he was going almost 50 over the speed limit? That is the whole cause and effect here. |

| If he was going the speed limit that he would not have had charges brought against him. |

Where will Shadid serve his prison time? Genuinely curious. Also, how long does a sentenced criminal stay in Fx County Adult Detention before going to prison?

| I never denied that he’s guilty. All I denied was how the other driver got no consequences to his mistake too. Not yielding caused these innocent souls to be lost just as much as speeding did. If he checked before turning and yielded no one would’ve died and that’s a fact, no assumptions here. Also to whoever claims that he has been flooring it for a while, the analysis of the crash shows the car was never floored except right before the crash so he floored it trying to swerve the crash that’s because a car didn’t yield as it should by law just like he was not supposed to be speeding and doing 60, both drivers are at fault. |

Do you have a driver's license or experience driving? You're talking about nonsense. What the SUV driver did wrong was not know that the car he saw down the road was going 60 mph in a 35 and was driven by an inexperienced driver in an overpowered car that would choose to accelerate to 80+ mph rather than brake, like people do when someone makes a slow left turn in front of them. |

| For everyone saying “if he was never speeding, this could’ve happened” it’s the same as “if the other car yielded and never blocked the road, this would’ve never happened” just use some brain cells here y’all. They’re both at fault |

| You are by law required to check right before making a left turn especially since you don’t have the right of way just like by law you’re not supposed to speed. The other driver checked probably like 10 seconds before the girls successfully passed that small crosswalk and just didn’t feel like checking again, a lot can happen by the time a pedestrian passed a crosswalk, it’s not a 2 second process and as a driver with a license you should always be paying attention to the road at all times. |
