    If she was going that fast, she was going to crash anyway. At least she didn't hurt anyone else.

    Maybe I'm just a heartless dick, but I wouldn't have shed a tear over a dumbass in a PT cruiser.

    I agree with slammin. the less PT Cruisers left on the road, the better. :p

          Similar thing happened to me last year. Pretty bad conditions, snow all over and windy. Suddenly I see brake lights, and cars sliding. I hit the brakes and thanksfully had brand new snow tires so they dug in and stopped me. About 6 cars were smashed up right in front of me and everyone behind started to stop. I saw an opening and dipped out.

          For the record, my mom has a PT Cruiser and it is the WORST car I've ever driven.

            I agree. She was not going a speed that were safe for the road conditions and her car.

              Not to mention speeding in a kitchen with a snowstorm and stalled semi-truck.

                may be and it may not be

                I am not an attorney, nor am I giving legal advice. Laws vary from state to state. "Failure to stop and render aid" may be a law in some states. Maybe the occupant of the other vehicle were hurt? Maybe.
                grain of salt:p

                  It's not your fault and you did nothing wrong. Good riddance PT Cruiser.

                    usually, laws like that are qualified with something like "if conditions allow". It didn't sound like that was the case.

                        I read this as "near Mississippi should I have pulled over" at first. Was wondering the point of this thread only to open it and discover a PT was off the road. Well done OP.

                            People who drive like that in the snow, with probably half worn down shitty all-season tires , and absolutely no clue how to control their car deserve to crash.

                            Shes probably gonna tell all her co-workers "Some jerk in a bmw Cut me off"
