Having said all that, I really apologize.

'Cause I never would have criticized you like that if I knew it was your time.

dar, you could become a walking time bomb if that sand does not get released!

they had it coming. you know these are the schmucks that normally ride on roads that follow creeks through the woods that have no shoulder.....that constantly cause near accidents, and then give you attitude for blowing your horn as you pass them. yet another reason that i wish i kept a paintball gun in my car.

Any more questions?

You're probably right, V. I should know better by now.

I like a little boy, is that what you meant?

Otherwise you'll have to spell it out for me, I'm not sure I follow.

You MUST keep this photo to post next to his first mug shot.

It looks to me like they were going, or coming in this direction, in both of the wrong lanes..

Actually, they were traveling on the right side of the road, weren't they? Look at the street signs.

Which means the police car is on the wrong side - so, were the police trying to block the path of the drunk driver and was the drunk driver avoiding collision with the police car?

Ah horrible.
The human body is so vulnerable.
It's so sad that these were people in prime physical condition - probably exercised daily, didn't smoke, didn't drink too much, looked after their bodies and what they put in them.

Then wallop. Just because some arsehole thinks the law doesn't apply to him and he's a safe driver no matter how much he's swilled down, it's all over for one of them. And physical therapy rather than exercise is on the cards for another three.

Amazing picture though.

DanaC · 06-03-2008, 07:37 AM

They had it coming? Jeez, one of them died. Right there in that picture we are seeing his final moments.

I occasionally deal with bikers riding on the interstate. Not too hard, just toot the LITTLE horn and pass slowly. Narrow, winding country roads are a different story. I can plaster a cyclist coming from a blind corner far too easily.

Perhaps both drivers and cyclists need to learn about each other. Training is the key here folks.

spudcon · 06-03-2008, 12:13 PM

Why is everyone blaming the cyclists? It's obvious to me that the driver of the car wasn't wearing his seat belt. No wonder they tried to lynch him.

newtimer · 06-03-2008, 12:38 PM

And I hope this came up in court: The car's brake lights aren't on. The driver was plowing right through them, without even slowing down or trying to stop.
Bastard.

In Mexico, brake lights on cars are optional.
