"Alfred Moore, 64, of Harrisburg, who has a long list of prior motor vehicle code violations, was taken into custody Thursday night and placed in Lancaster County Prison after failing to post $50,000 bail."
Isn't it nice how we just let jackasses continue to rack up violation after violation until the inevitable happens? Lovely how we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings except maybe those of the families of 5 now dead motorcyclists.

+1 for the gubmint.
I don't mind criticizing the Gummint when appropriate, but this has to do with attitude, not with the Gummint.

To begin with, it looks to me like Penn has plenty of ways to suspend or revoke and living just outside the PA border, I know they will use these:

Rather than fessing up and accepting the rules, most people will try not to.

Try Googling something like "pennsylvania operator license revocation"

See how many people are making a living by selling ways to "help" repeat violators.

And if that fails, just ask any motor officer if he/she's seen an unlicensed driver or two...

...since lunch.
It all boils down to this: the government gave him his license and it's possible that they should have taken it away. It happens all the time. How many times have you heard about a guy with 4 prior DUI convictions killing someone in an accident when SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! he was drunk again? More than once unless you avoid the media like the plague.

And when they finally do kill someone they get sentences like 6 years for a killing an 8 year old boy who was taken off life support on Christmas day. That is a real example from a friend of my family. If the government didn't allow for this crap to happen, it wouldn't. Lawyers can only get someone's license back by exploiting loopholes in the law that the government refuses to fix. </rant>

 
I heard about this while in the area a week or two after. Locals were stunded, as was i. I heard a witness tell me things that made my skin crawl.

All because he didn't control his diabetes. So tragic

 
Very tragic, I noticed in the pics that the half helmet on the ground was a novelty helmet with a fake DOT sticker on the back, but I doubt even a snell approved full face helmet could save you in such a high speed impact. The internal bleeding and organ damage must have been extensive. I'm glad there was a survivor on the bikes to shed some light on this incident, that is if she can remember anything.
