It's never really a matter of being hard on anyone. I myself have had some remarkably stupid crashes over the years. I was merely pointing out that:'
a) we should always seek to learn something from these crashes. After all, the lesson here may be sufficient to avoid far more severe consequences next time; and
b) the fact that the lady in the car was actually following the law and giving way should never make us lose sight of some of the fundamentals.
