Unfortunately, there is no shock associated with that story. When I drive, I don't worry about myself; I worry about the OTHER jackass that is on the road with me.

Apparently, most of the drivers on the road went to the "Drive Worse than your Grandma" school.

I'm in Fayetteville, North Carolina, home of Fort Bragg and the Airborne. SO - when the light turns green, doesn't that mean GO? Green means GO! Pay atteniton, man.

After my son got home from his first deployment to Iraq, his best friend in his platoon was killed in a car accident within 12 hours of being back in the States.

Very sad statistic.
