There was 2 teens kill last year on the outskirts of town. They where on the way to school . So what hapened? It turns out they smacked the side of a tractor tralier. It had the stripe & the semi had its lights on. The fog was so thick they could see the truck (less alone there own hood). Not to far from there another 2 teens where killed at an RR Xing...NOT the RR fault, or even the that drivers fault. There BEST FRIEND in the car behind them was not paying attention RAMMED the first car into the side of the freight train. Ironicly within the same month there was a firery inferno. 65 car pileup killing 15-20 people in the rush hour comute. People started to slow down because a car was stranded on the energency lane. The kept getting rear ended because no one could see anyhing but the taillights of the cars 10 ft. infront of them.[:(] <br /> <br /> <br />(Mo and any other delusional posters) Please stop using your ploys joking about RRs & trucking companies. Not only are they sick, there is a real human side with real human losses to them. Using this fourm to gripe about your own personal problems will not help you or anyone else! People need to be more alert while driving, if they do not someones going to pay the ultimate price![}:)] <br /> <br />P.S. Mo have you ever driven anything bigger then that H2 Hummer (you got after all these lawsuits you post about) in "real" traffic, or ever rode on a train? I can tell not. If you have you would have stoped you frivliouls post months ago! Please keep the arm chair coaching for football not trying to tell us how to do our jobs. <br /> <br />[?] Rember look both ways before you cross ANYTHING. It was the first thing EVERYONE learned when crossing a street in GRADE SCHOOL.[?] <br /> <br />Hell I've almost hit by many things/people because they did not pay attention. I had one lady pull out and turn right infront of me. So? She had a red light, crossed the interscetion (from my left) she turned left (In to the fast lane I was in). Heres the funny part When she saw that a full size white van was laying on the horn, I still had my bright lights on......she hit the brakes......not minding that this was 1/2 a block down from the corner! She fliped me off!!!! It was My fault that she ran a red light, and I still had my brights on honking the horn. Jeez Im surrounded by Idiots![xx(]
