Default Another accident

Traffic circle in front of Bonnybrook gate had two smashed up cars on the grass in the middle as I drove by tonight. Looked like a head on which means someone went the wrong way on the circle. Seems to be many many accidents in the Villages.

And what is the cause? Lack of attention? Or not staying to the right in the circles?

Hopefully the Daily Sun will have a story on this in the paper tomorrow.

Might be a little late to get in tomorrow's edition.

What do you have against the Daily Sun? It is the local rag doing it's best.

Default The only way to make TV race car driver mode

in traffic circles is to put side walls up to keep 'em in their lane and have a cop permanently stationed on each circle ticketing those who dash into the circle as if they owned it.
Yes my tongue is in my cheek also
At some point the reality of TV drivers drive too fast will come to bear....although I doubt it.

Prudent question.

I don't think anyone answered the similar one you posted earlier in this thread.

When I was in the 5th grade at St. Paul's Elementary School in Weirton, West Virginia, this question was on one of my tests: "how man people inhabit the State of West Virginia?"

Not knowing the answer, I wrote down "a lot." Sister Elizabeth marked it as being wrong.
