UDOT kills Sandra Harper?

As you may be aware, On Nov. 11 2010 Sandra Harper died in an automobile accident in West Valley City, Utah on the 201 highway. This is attributed to an act of road rage on the behalf of the other driver involved. According to the local self-aggrandizing broadcast so called NEWS media, Mrs. Harper was driving in a manner that annoyed the other person, who when being passed by Mrs. Harper, was given the one finger salute by her. He then proceeded to pass in an aggressive manner and when regaining the lane clipped the front of her BIG UTAH SUV causing her to loose control in a manner that ended in her death.

You may be aware from perusing my previous ramblings, of what I think about Utah's generally self-important, anal, infantile drivers and of UDOT's practices and policies in general and it's (not intelligently) management  in particular!

It is my belief, as formed from experience, that UDOT's uncontrolled greed, graft, and disregard of intelligence is the root cause of the majority of road rage along the intermountain highways. UDOT is not held responsible to the public for it's policies or practices. UDOT is a publicly (state and federal) highly funded retirement for select individuals who have the desire to dominate and control others. The policies of UDOT and the establishment of such things as the HOV lane in large population areas,  for the use of  a few who don't understand how to drive courteously without signs or explicit instructions (like special lanes and diamonds) *we used to call these kinds of people (pre-politically correct liberalism) SPECIAL (otherwise known as mentally retarded and/or physically handicapped) and therefore were restricted from driving in heavy traffic!
(The a fore mentioned people (now I'm being PC and not saying what I think) and what they do to the ancient and respected rules of the road should be banned,boiled and not coddled! I'm speaking of the very numerous liberal drivers as well as UDOT decision makers (not the folks who drive the plow trucks, although come to think of it they could us some re-education too!))

The "Special" conditions put in place by UDOT and the "No child left behind" drivers that you encounter in the "fast lane" (yeah right!) along the Wasatch Front now days, is enough to make an elephant run amok!
 I have had incidents happen to me ranging from one finger salutes to having a gun pointed at me in anger! (although the best ones, that relieve stress, are the ones like where the old couple put their thumbs in their ears, wiggled their fingers, and stuck their tongues out while making a sour face, hilarious! and it got their point across without causing hurt feelings! What smart people! though somebody should have kept their hands on the wheel!)

Is anybody besides me aware, that there has twice been a law on the books that requires a slower driver to move over when being overtaken by a faster vehicle, regardless of how fast the overtaken vehicle is moving?
that this law is presently on the books, was written for high traffic situations, and is never inforced, except for harassment value to increase the severity of a citation!

For the above cited specificies, it is therefore my conclusion, that while the two drivers were both responsible for their actions at the moment,  that these actions were precluded by the overall failure of UDOT to consider the psychological effects of all of the stupidities that they inflict on the people of this state, and that UDOT and its management should be held to be directly responsible for the death of Sandra Harper ( and others like her) and should be tried and found guilty of 1st degree murder!
