- Amelie de Moullac: police found driver at fault, DA refused to prosecute
- Charles Vinson: driver ran a red light. Vinson also <i>technically</i> ran a red, but had the walk signal. Vinson was found at fault; driver not even 50% fault.<p>These are pretty SF-specific examples, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s an SF-specific phenomenon.
