ugh..that is ugly, there were reports of shoes on top of the car, and bodies everywhere. 100k man that would hurt.

sad

i had some old person back up into me at a 4way….no damage but as he was driving away i noticed on the back of his car he had a sticker that said drive safe hahaha, i found that quite amusing

I like how it says that "a two year old girl was among the dead". Like it matters if the person is 2 or 45

it makes it sound worst

more reason to take away driver's license once your 70

that's it, no more driving. you become a bus person. or handy dart.

it totally matters. the fact that a child was killed at 3 is WAY way more tragic in my brain than 45.

Sadly, that happens way too often. Just a couple of weeks ago, an older driver in Florida took out an entire paceline of cyclists when he swerved head-on into their paceline. I can't recall if there were casualties, but there were some serious injuries.

Running over a cyclist will rarely get you more than a reckless driving charge. Also, beware of riding on the road at the break of dawn or at sunset. If there is an accident, the driver can successfully argue that the light was in his or her eyes.:mad:

Damn, you beat me to it. Very sad though. We where just talking about this at super last night. However how people our age 19-24 always die in car crashes.

i think more frequent mantadory routine mental/physical health reports have to be in place at a certain age, say 60, in order to keep a license at a certain age, but also there has to be more stringent judgment on the part of doctors to make recommendations otherwise despite whatever the age of the patient. again, the legal/social/psychological effects have to be considered - ie: how would you feel, as a 62 year-old male, if you were suddenly told by your doctor on a routine visit that you were now unable to drive a vehicle safely, how would you react and what kind of effect would it have on you?
