    Anymore - 18 or 4 - too many of them drive the same way - with only themselves in mind.

    I have seen that before, unfortunately. I saw a fatality on I40 at exit 35 outside of Memphis. The car had missed their exit, stopped in the left lane, backed up and tried to turn perpendicular to get on the ramp. They pulled that move just in time to get broadsided by a fully loaded car carrier. He pushed them into the median and killed them instantly. When I went by, his motor was sitting where their seats were on top of them.

    All the news reported was that a semi was involved in a fatality. They didn't report that he laid 200 feet of skid marks and did his best to avoid the wreck by going into the left lane. Pretty much par for the course when it comes to news.

    I see 4 wheeled ####### doing that all the time - crossing 6 lanes of traffic and nearly wiping out on the barrier or slamming into...me...I rarely ever see a truck do that. I'll give the benifit of doubt and assume a brown log was coming out the chute and a potty was in dire need.
