ib516,
I just did the very same test on 2 different GM vehicles about 5 hours ago that I own and I'm calling BS on "almost impossible" steering either of them with the ignition turned off. For crying out loud, I just did it and know it's NOT that hard to steer either of them and they are so much heavier than Melton's light Cobalt. Besides that, Melton blew thru a stop sign at 58 mph so do you think she was intending to turn at the intersection using her steering wheel? DUH! Planning to stop at the intersection for the stop sign as she most assuredly had brakes? DUH! OR Did she miss seeing the stop sign, was distracted for some reason, sleepy, or never intended to stop anyway? Normal people don't go thru stop signs at intersections at 58 mph ignition on or off!
As for the road Melton was on, she was going to her BOYFRIENDS and apparently she DID know the road even if it was wet or it was raining! Was the blowing thru the stop sign caused because the ignition switch cut power? Extremely unlikely as any vehicle slows down when the ignition is turned off or please tell everyone why you would even remotely turn a vehicle's ignition switch off! Is it so they CAN'T steer the vehicle or CAN'T stop the vehicle so the uncontrolled vehicle will become an uncontrolled missle that can then crash into an innocent parties vehicle and kill the kids in it along with their parents? Get real! You remotely turn the subject vehicle ignition off so the vehicle WILL come to a stop so you can catch the people inside!!! How dumb do you think forum readers are anyway?
Lawyers are the only ones who will get rich from the frivilous lawsuits and it's the public who will ultimately pay for their sucking dry the corporations, insurance companys, and the common citizens bills. Hint! Corporations do NOT have money trees out back they pick money off as needed or wanted no matter which domestic corporation it is and guess where corporations do get their money from? Let me help you. Sales of their products only and what the buyer pays for the products is what any corporation has for money coming in. The citizen ultimately is who actually pays the bills and then they wonder why things cost so much! DUH! HELLO! Try to sue a Chinese, Mexican, or nearly any foreign importer and see where it gets you!
