Then hit and run laws are pretty much worthless. Since stopping after any accident, could potentially be a dangerous situation.
Yes of course they can be. As soon as one has a rational reason for a threat one can leave. This situation is even cleaner as she stopped and talked to the other driver.
Why this insane desire to find fault with the dead woman?

It doesn't really matter whether the woman may or may not have had any fault for the accident, or what followed. The price she ended up paying was far beyond anything she have possibly deserved. She was stalked and killed. Pre-meditated murder. Period.
Hope they catch the dirtbag that did it.
We'll find out no doubt, that the killer had a criminal records and committed numerous other crimes. How does that mesh with those who think prisons are too harsh, the length of prison terms too lengthy and all that rehabilitation talk and that a felony conviction should be expunged after some clean time eh?
This is the relevant Nevada law. She did not follow the law. That is hit and run.

What are you talking about?? The law does not require you to stay in a dangerous situation where you are being physically threatened, don't be ridiculous.
That should be rule #1 for how to avoid road rage incidents. Drive defensively and don't come in contact with other vehicles, or **** off other drivers and you probably won't be the victim of road rage.
Unfortunately this woman was teaching her daughter to drive, and it appears that she was a less then competent driver herself.
You seem intent on blaming this death on the victim. Whether or not she was at fault in the accident, she pulled over, and someone in the other vehicle threatened her. So, having her young daughter with her, she got back and her car and drove home. I might have done the same.
The murderer had her license plate and address. He could could have driven away, gone home and called his insurance company and let them handle it.
Instead he chose to shoot at her. He or one of his passengers had threatened her, so I suspect they were trying to intimidate her. Her husband was away on a business trip, so she probably told her daughter to go inside and her son went to get a gun.
The people who threatened her had followed her home--do you you understand the impact of that on a woman with two kids and a husband who is away?
The shooter in the car is at fault, and I hope when they find him, they throw the book at him. He really should learn to behave like a civilized human being. If he did nothing wrong, and the son shot at him first so he was only defending himself, why hasn't he come forward? He is a murderous coward in hiding and fugitive from justice.

Driving defensively has nothing to do with fault. It has to do with deliberately driving in such a way as to avoid any accidents. If you avoid an accident, then you don't need to communicate with an other pissed off driver. Unfortunately not many people there days practice defensive driving.
Your logic is ridiculous. I am a defensive driver. I drive very carefully with my lights on at all times, so any idiots with bad eyesight, who can't see has the ability to see me and I use my horn a lot, just in case they do not see me.
Last week, I was at a stoplight--stopped. Some idiot smashed into the entire line of traffic, starting with two cars in back of me, also stopped. He damaged five cars, including mine. He ruined my weekend and cost me $500 deductible, which I hope my insurance company will collect from his. He received a citation from the police, who responded and investigated, and he will no doubt be found guilty of causing this accident.
I'm sure in your mind, I should have followed him home and shot at him. Civilized people deal with accidents for which they are not at fault, in a civilized manner, not with a gun.
I see what you are saying and it is also very possible lady was at fault when collision occurred. She seemed to have stopped to share info or whatever. However, even if she just chose to run away it does not matter anymore. The guy who shot her is at fault now. Earlier may be he wasn't. Lady is dead - this is the end result. There is no way you can justify her being shot no matter what she did.
