Joanna runs over a little girl on a bicycle while reaching in her purse for CIGARETTES. Let me repeat: reaching for CIGARETTES.
That makes her a bad mother right there. Joanna is setting the WORST possible example for her children, and worse, she is endangering their health by sucking those nasty things.
Not only is she reaching for cancer sticks, she's doing so while driving on a winding, narrow road on a rainy day. No rational human being could be that stupid. Then again, this is a movie, and Joanna was not rational.
In my mind, cigarette smokers are hard-core drug addicts. But their actions will always harm others due to that vile second-hand smoke. As long as someone doesn't drive after drinking or drink to excess, it's not going to hurt anyone. Same with pot.
Can't feel sorry for someone who abuses his or her body by smoking, then is so addicted to nicotine that he or she cannot concentrate while driving on a narrow, winding road, especially in bad weather.
