there is nothing dangerous or treacherous about a 4 way stop...only the incompetent drivers who come here and think they can blow through stop signs, ignore all other signs and excede the speed limit.

It is the "me first" at all costs drivers here in TV.

The only cure = more cops and lots more tickets....LOTS MORE TICKETS!!!!!

I have been at two accident scenes where a Smart Car was involved. Neither involved high speeds. Neither was injury free for the driver of the Smart Car. They should rename it to the "Not so Smart Car".

Same explanation for why placing a traffic light at the intersection in question would not make it any safer.

Pturner's post is the best two-lane roundabout explaination that I've seen yet. I always stay in the right lane if I'm going straight through the interestion (staying on the same street), and wonder why anyone would use the option of moving to the left lane if they are going straight through. I will already have yielded to any cars already in the roundabout, so the right lane should be available to me. And if I remain in this lane, there is no chance of me hitting another vehicle when I exit. Am I missing something here?

We were leaving Too Jay's while the fire truck and ambulance were there. The problem was not an accident, but a suspected heart attack. Has anyone heard how the patient is doing? My best wishes are with the victim and his/her family.

Nope. The only way you could be hit is if someone doesn't yield coming from the road to your right.

Wow! 37 responses to the first post that was speculation that there was an accident. 25 solutions to a problem that does not exist. Only on TOTV.

here they talk about the additional safety testing where it was tested in crashes against mid-sized cars (normal testing for safety rating is in crashes with like sized cars), I'll give you a preview....it went airborne rotated 450 degrees and showed 'significant' intrusion in the passenger area...nope not for me. This was also done with the FIT and Yaris who didn't fare much better, however neither of these became airborne like the smart fortwo.

They cannot produce a Vehicle that does not pass cash testing. Now if you get hit by a Semi in anything your done. But I live life a little different than most. Called 7k miles cross country on a Harley and all if a sudden a Smart looks pretty good compared to that.

I will not argue on a high speed open road . I am talking below 55 as a scoot arounr vehicle for my wife vs gettin hit in a Golf Cart. I'll take the Smart or a Focus over that. In fact unless your in a suburban you gonna get hurt in a head on. Watch the Cage protect.
