One more time:
There
was
no
grade.
This was Indiana, not Colorado.
Yep, and at that point we're not talking about a "pushed" vehcile, any more. And, one more time:
There
was
no
grade.
Quit bringing up irrelavent junk.
Naw... and if you're that inattentive to your own surroundings then its your own damn fault.
Yes it does. It takes some perceptible amount of grade to overcome rolling resistance.
I've got seriously winded pushing cars on no grade. It was the fault of the rolling resistance.
It hit some little irregularity, stopped, and rolled backwards. It can happen.
'Cuz if there was a grade in the direction they were going, they wouldn't have bothered to push - they'd have coasted. If there was a grade in the opposite direction, they likely wouldn't have gotten it where they wanted it to go - unless they're body builders or something.
Naw - even the prosecutor has doubts about making such an injustice work in court. Says so right in the article.
Yep. You can charge the original driver, but not the pbuttenger.
No, its because you want to take the license for a year, and possibly jail a person for a year, that was doing the RIGHT thing by removing a dangerous obstruction from the road via the only means available to her. That just isn't right.
