I gather the accident was after dark last night. No one mentions that the weather might have made the roads slick since it rained yesterday. Also, sometimes the "blind spot" will catch someone who isn't looking when they change lanes and if other cars are close on the tail of one it makes for a crash-bang. I still say folks bring their driving habits with them here. In reading 2 of the posts here---that proves it (the 2 from Long Island). We have friends from further up the eastern coast who tell how bad (good??) it is in the large cities. One friend said if you aren't aggressive---you'll get killed. Well that statement probably has more truth to it than anything. Being aggressive can be fatal too. I just try to remember my driver's education classes and also drive according to the speed limits plus the signage....couple that with being attentive and careful.
