Shae asks- “Just out of curiosity, How did the highway patrol get involved is she hit her own house?”

She was operating a motor vehicle (although not very well) and I’m guessing because her neighbors were afraid their houses were next!

Seriously, I though FHP worked most traffic crashes. Perhaps someone will enlighten us…I’m always open for furthering my limited education.

It’s already illegal to set your own home on fire or shoot your own spouse,
so I guess the slippery slope now includes driving into your own house.

Reckless driving on your own property? That is NOT what the code was written for. Once again we stretch the meaning of our laws at our peril.

This is all just speculation, but what if FHP had to write the driver up and charge her with careless driving in case the driver was seeking insurance to pay for her ride… or the mobile home? Careless driving… not insured by most insurance companies.

You can own all the cars you want, crash them, set them on fire on your property, etc. As long as FHP, fire departments etc. aren’t called to the scene, or you’re not seeking an insurance claim. Once they are, they have procedures that must be followed, investigation, etc. etc.

I am curious as to what she was doing, that she was not paying attention to her surroundings while driving. Maybe her brakes failed. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Perhaps she does not actually own the home nor the vehicle.

Shae, I was thinking the same thing. What if I bought 3 Chevrolet Blazers (paid in cash) so that I could crash 2 of them into each other and still have one to drive? Why is it the highway patrol’s business what I do with my own property, if I am not hurting anyone else?

Now common sense tells us that she probably WAS driving carelessly and did not do this on purpose, but what if she had done it on purpose?
