This Weekend a 20 Year old local woman struck and killed two participants in the Seacoast Century - an annual event here in NH.

What makes the tragedy even worse is the fact that she had been caught speeding at twice the limit (59 in a 30 zone) in the same spot just a few hours earlier and was then found to never have been licensed. The maddening thing is that she was sent home with a friend after the speeding incident - I kid you not. People go to jail for shoplifting, but a menace like this is left to walk free when she is a clear danger to society; as she demonstrated almost immediately. Apparently she would have been arrested on the spot if she had driven with a revoked or suspended license; so it appears that the law leaves more than a little desired.

The accident occurred when she crossed the lanes and hit the cyclists head on - implying that she was driving distracted, under the influence or both.

I normally stay well away from the road where this accident occurred, way too much traffic from beachgoers, but it is well liked by cyclists that want to stay away from hills.
