“Distracted driving continues to be a plague on our highways and roads,” said provincial court Judge Mayland McKimm. “Everyone who drives sees the activity carried out by otherwise law-abiding citizens regularly. Citizens need to understand that what they are doing is highly dangerous to others and could very possibly lead to severe harm or death. To those people who text and drive, they must understand that if serious consequences ensue there will be serious penalties.” The judge rejected a plea from Nikirk’s lawyer Tom Morino to suspend Nikirk’s sentence until after Christmas. “No. I have anguished about that. I have thought about that, and there is a child who will never have Christmas,” McKimm replied.
