I was driving down a four lane divided boulevard around lunch time today (Monday) in light traffic, when I saw the police cleaning up a traffic accident. There was a convertible in the middle of the grassy raised medium that was turned sideways and had its passenger side smashed in by the light pole that obviously stopped it. I hoped that there wasn't a passenger in the car, because the pole was where he should have been.
I worked briefly as an accident investigator for auto insurance companies shortly after graduating with a BS in engineering, but I couldn't figure out off the top of my head how it was possible for a driver, on dry pavement and a sunny day, to do this.
Insert whatever philosophical or religious comment that you want about the fragility of life, or idiot drivers. You decide.

I Swear to god this happened. No joke.
I was driving around going to sports ohio to play tennis and i saw a car that was stuck on an electrical wire at a 60 degree angle. I had no idea how it happened. It was one of those that go into the ground. Anyone could have easly pushed it off. I swear i saw this

Unfortunately the world is full of moron drivers....I see them every day on my way to and fro work. Imagine a slight change in the weather...and some of these nuts don't know what to do! I think people should be given a driving test in all different weather conditions and after passing all then get a licenced issued!
Now...there is this famous "American Idol" that brings out the "What the heck?" factor in me when I look at the auditions........I don't know who fool some of those nutcases that they got talent!

It's called "excessive speed". Ask Nick Hogan.

IT WAS COMING BACK FROM MEMPHIS,TN. I SAW THIS WOMAN NURSING HER BABY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THAT MOMS ARE SUPPOSE TO FEED THEIR CHILD, BUT NOT WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.
