Herb Huseland/Bay Views: The woman cited for “Inattentive driving,” for allowing a deer to hit the side of her car has been reprieved. A sergeant from ISP called me yesterday to announce the charge was in the process of being dismissed. He did ask that I point out to motorists that when seeing a deer at the side of the road, slow way down. They sometimes panic jump just when you are about to pass. All’s well that ends well, except the damage to her car and the cost of retaining an attorney, which turned out to be unnecessary due to the public outcry of Injustice. The ISP definitely has egg on their faces for not supervising their troopers effectively. I’ll have more on this story on my blog, Bayviews.
