I'm surprised they aren't in the far left lane Otis ! They just don't pay attention and most don't even care. Kind of irritating once in a while. Oh well, some mechanic is going to score on some repairs soon !

No. I always try my best to avoid any kind of animal on the road.

My husband taught me the same thing Gators father taught her. The only casualty he ever had was when he was training a trainee. The trainee accidentally hit an elk and it did A LOT of damage to the rig. There was nothing the trainee could have done. It was laying in the road trying โ€ฆ Read more

My father was a truck driver. While he never went out of his way to hit an animal, he has also not gone out of his way to miss a few. You cannot slam on the brakes and stop, nor can you just swerve to miss an animal when you vehicle weighs 80,000 lbs. And โ€ฆ Read more

What I was taught as a driver is that you can brake down (on an isolated country road) to avoid hitting animals, but not to swerve - for safety reasons yourself and passengers.

People are distracted by all sorts of things.

Of course, you KNOW they are going to have a "loophole" for police/etc.

Technically, all anyone needs in order to qualify for the "emergency personnel" exemptions to such laws, is a HAM license.ย

It might sound crazy, but people get into just as many accidents eating, drinking and doing all sorts of other things while driving as when they're on the phone.ย  I think someone can certainly wait to drink their coffee until they can do it without compromising their concentration on driving.ย  People spill their coffee and โ€ฆ Read more

Actually a very large amount of people are getting in car accidents and even dieing because of drinking coffee. People get those really big starbucks cups and they cant see the road while that huge cup is in front of them. Im for it.

I'm not gonna be too surprised by it. Although, following Rooster i am not aware of records and rates back in New Jersey. But i also believe it's playing a huge role in this decision. I don't think this decision is a sign of craziness of government or lack of control.(state governs nor federal govern)ย  โ€ฆ Read more
