I've never known a car to speed up when you turn it off, but I understand what you are trying to say.

So apparently the State of Maryland is trying to monitor drivers with health concerns. I renewed my license recently and you have to provide the MVA health monitoring department if you have an illness or disease that is on their list. I have MS and it was one of diseases on the list. I guess you could always just not admit you have the disease or health issue- but I feel like it would/should hurt you later if you have an accident and it was related to the health issue. In this case I feel like it SHOULD be held against him- people every day drive with diabetes or other health issues, as long as they MONITOR and take care of it; it shouldn't be a problem.
This is from the MVA-
Medical Status
For the safety of all drivers, the MVA must consider your medical status as part of your license request. Medical conditions, which could affect your driving, must be reported to the MVA. Please submit with your application, a certificate from your doctor indicating the onset of the disability, diagnosis, and medications, if any. All medical data is kept confidential and will only be used by the MVA to determine your qualifications to drive.
I think the MVA/state needs to crack down on this: I agree with others- there are some medical emergencies that can be prevented- this accident (if what their saying is true) could have been prevented- it's not other people's fault that someone drove when they shouldn't- to me diabetic shock is like drunk driving- you can control it- therefore should be held completely responsible.
Ok- done my ranting for the day.

Bull####, I've seen my cat go into 'diabetic shock' many times and no one ever died.

ummm... Ok, I'm gonna say that would probably be a true statement....
I'm guessing it wouldn't go into shock if you didn't feed it all those Twinkies and HoHos.

I knew someone who went into diabetic shock while driving and ended up flipping his car. Luckily, neither he nor anyone else was injured. And, for those of you who will pile on, he was a wonderful father/husband/foster parent, active in church and community and 99.99999999~% of the time had his blood sugar under control.
Just saying...
If you haven't walked a mile in those shoes and weren't in the car at the time, you know nothing.
I have no opinion until more facts are revealed by an investigation.

I scrolled all the way to the bottom and there is nothing there. It said comments are posted under the advertisment but there was nothing there. I even tried clicking the comments button.

He was lucky.
I can tell you i am diabetic. I can tell you I know when my blood sugar is beginning to drop. I get sick to my stomache, I begin to sweat, I get shaky, my heart starts racing.............. It's happened many times. It's not a matter of seconds until you fall out. It's several minutes. Enough time to pull over and get help. It's not a good feeling at all. I've walked that mile in those shoes, but I wasn't in the car.
I'll also save my opinion on this matter until the final investigation is complete.

Not me. All I needed to see was this guy's previous activities in the MD Judiciary case search. Clearly a bad egg, so it's hard to imagine he's just an innocent victim of his illness this time. Not to mention the eyewitness accounts of him screaming, cussing and flipping people off right before he killed those two girls.
That pretty much solidifies it for me.
