In agreement with Effy, I don't believe one action or even a handful should ever be used to change laws. It seems every time there is a tragic accident or crime, whether in New York State or more nationally, an advocate group will form to have some new law enacted. I'm not saying that some of these laws aren't necessary, however emotions should not be the driving force of enacting legislation that once they hit the books, they become almost impossible to remove or edit it proven to be faulty.
My opinion on this extremely unfortunate loss of life is the guy was probably going to fast to adjust to the emergency situation and by the time he was upon the scene he didn't have time to properly assess the lane closure's etc. and an avoidable tragic loss of life occurred. That is why the English language has the word "accident" in it.
