Do you think G-ville Sun would do a "safety awareness" piece around the new law in the wake of this tragedy?

	Last summer the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that the new 3-feet clearance law goes into effect on October 1, 2006.

		When does the "3 foot clearance law' go into effect?  We've been getting "buzzed" by utility and construction materials trucks on a regular basis.  I'd like to start reporting the incidents to the vehicle owners.

		This is a sad but not unpredictable incident.  I'd bet the "distraction" was a cell phone.

			Whew, the driver is being charged with "failure to drive in a straight line", how about vehicular manslaughter?  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family left behind.
