Two dead in fiery South Side accident on I-35

Only one way to cure stupid..

 

Great, now fedex will be turned down even slower.

 

Always amazed me. How and why 4 wheelers think it is appropriate to come to a complete stop on a freeway. Then to have others that follow suit. As opposed to leaving enough room, do a lane change, drive slower and defensively. AND not come to a complete stop on the freeway! EVER!

 

Darwin’s theory is working hard and off to a rolling start this year.
We seriously need to get “back to the basics” on driver education. These types of accidents are getting out of control.

 

While I am usually all for laughing at a FedEx wreck, the car should be partially at fault for coming to a near stop on an interstate.

 

Never underestimate the ability of people to do something completely stupid.

 

Darwin's theory indeed.

I think this comes from the LACK of driver ed requirement. I've noticed that people taught by non-driver ed instructor (usually a family member, relative or friend) tend to drive either more recklessly or, have trouble reading traffic flow.

I remember when I took my drivers ed...The instructor was ADAMANT that I read out ALOUD the names of the streets, or random businesses along the way. At first I was resistant, then he told me: You might be looking for an address one day, while driving, and your brain needs to process all the incoming info.

Another thing he taught me: There's always an exit ahead, you miss this one, grab the next one....

 

EXACTLY!!
