Group, Phil had it right. Pilot error. The runway was marked, but as a driver or a pilot I drive/ fly defensively, what was that moron doing sooooooo looooooooow. Per the report he will not be flying again. I feel bad, but I'm not sorry it was his mistake. I hope the people in the car can forgive and she can loose her attitude.
