Sorry, I did add something to my post. And I was talking about life in general.

Sorry, I did add something to my post. And I was talking about life in general.

I hate when people do that. Aren't they smart enough to say what they mean the first time??? Then they go back to their incomplete statement and add something to try and make it better???? What's up with that???

I've heard that people like that also slow down in front of traffic to create a jam because they think someone is following them too close??? Who would do that????

WOW, how terrible ..

It reduces thread count. Also, endless quotes causes a thread to be vastly longer than it needs to be. Endless and needless repetition!

I "THINK" someone is following too close? That's stupid! They ARE according to any driving instruction I ever got.

Also quite stupid to impy that any driving of mine, would be intended, to create a traffic jam.

I lost a Son in an auto accident 25 years ago. He was 19. I've visited with the first man on the scene on two different occasions. Both times he handled it well and truthfully answered every question that I had.

If you are asked about this be reserved and honest. If they ask detail questions give honest detail answers. I wanted to know every detail of my Son's last moments. They weren't pleasant details. But I had to know.

Thanks for your efforts in a very difficult situation.

Sorry for your lose..

I am a paramedic and have had numerous “ close calls “ while out on calls at accident scenes. All due to inattentive and impatient drivers. There were just 2 Texas EMS responders and a police officer killed this past weekend while on scene of an accident. An inattentive drive going way too fast for the road / weather conditions, plowed right into the scene. A true shame. These deaths could have easily been prevented.

Ovrszd, sorry for you loss. As a first responder, I usually have a harder time dealing with some of the “ bad calls “, not thinking of the call itself, but thinking of the families that have to deal with the loss. For them it is permanent, for me it is only temporary.... take care.

I'm at the end of a 20 mile hilly twisty road.
Many slow down reaching the crest of a hill probably fearing a tight turn ahead or braking going downhill for same reason.
Then comes the bicycles that weave all over the place climbing those hills usually 2-3 abreast.
I have seen impatient 'entitled' drivers pass all those conditions naturally crossing over the double lines to do so.
Scary stuff!

And, yes when I'm tailgated and can see the color of their eyeballs I do hit the brakes to give them a message.
Like at 50 MPH rule of thumb is 5 car lengths, not 1/20 or even one.

I had a friend that caused an accident. He was double the speed limit in town and veered into oncoming traffic. I'm sure a whole bunch of experts would know what happened and would have multiple stories to back them up. In my friends case, he had a heart attack and he was probably dead before the crash. Also, my cousins first wife died at 25 in a movie theater. She was very fit, ate good, not overweight, and died of a heart attack. They also said she was dead before she hit the floor.

Unless we know the FACTS of this crash and the report from the medical examiner, we can not speculate on the cause.
