[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dekemd [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by missouri [ Like I said the brainwashing starts early on in employment. You ever figure the LIGHTS were not big enough or bright enough. Where was the sun? Where was the sunvisor? What other vehicles were around. What column on your accident report has sight obstructions or this vehicle folded like a acordian because it was made out of plastic. None to protet the city, county and the auto manufacturers. Like grannie always said "Many look and few see". Sounds like the "idiots" need to have somebody else on THEIR payroll. Not some numbskull Barnie Fife. [/quote] Sun was coming from the left and slightly behind the driver. Sunvisor wasn't needed because sun was behind driver. The lights were evidently as big and bright as they needed to be. That intersection has approximately 1000 cars a day pass thru it. The last accident before this one was a little over four months ago. Let's see, thats about 120daysx1000 cars= 120000 people who didn't have a problem with the lights. Matter of fact the driver traveling in the lane beside the lady and the driver behind her didn't have a problem seeing the light and stopping. Sight line obstructions are noted on the accident scene sketch and in the narrative of the accident report. What exactly does sight lines have to do with this accident anyway? The light was red. By law she must stop, regardless of whether or not anything is coming. I've actually had courses on accident scene investigation. Have you? As for the Barnie Fife comment, you can call me all the names you want. You can come here and preach, and rant and rave all you want about trying to save lives. The problem is that is all you do. I go out there everyday and risk my life actually saving lives. I've took drunk drivers off the roads, stopped reckless drivers, burglars, muggers, arrested child abusers, drug dealers, and murderers on the run. I given emergency medical care to accident victims, given talks to groups about crime prevention and safety, and have done so many other things in my law enforcement career. At the end of the day, I can say I actually made a difference. Can you? Derrick [/quote] What size were the roundells? Where they aligned correctly? Come on give me a AAR/DOT crossing number or St., city, state and I can tell you exactly what you missed.
