She needs to lose her drivers license is the thing. There’s societal problems abound, on aggregate, with behaviour like this and it’s still very much an individual being a fucking moron. I don’t think think this is worthy of jail time or even a fine necessarily, but a person who shows this open disregard for very clear, basic rules of road safety should not be allowed to operate a car.
