tell us more.....

Anyone else notice this area glazes over pretty regular? What makes this strech of road prone to super slick conditions? Is it the lakes?

Geeze. The water runoff might

Geeze. The water runoff might be the reason the roads are more icy in that area, but lack of driving skills are the reasons for the accidents. I drive that road twice a day, six days a week and have NEVER had a problem. But then I don't go over 40 mph either and I keep my attention on my driving and road conditions. Even had to stop on a dime when two deer crossed in front of my car. Just slow down and pay attention.

Is it just the

camera angle, or does Officer Bankowski appear to be on the same seefood diet as Officer Allen.

It's no wonder that Cameron kid took off running.....

How about those 49ers....

Hyuck, hyuck oneofwe,

And who are you trying to kid, you know all of those perverse logistics.....probably more than a few, first hand.

I think a 49er--Ravens match

I think a 49er--Ravens match up would be grand. As far as the Cameron boy running, it had nothing to do with the fitness of the officers, but rather with the fact that the boy is a complete idiot who lacks the brains of lobotomized dung beetle.

Ice queen is wicked cool

LOVE how IceQueen signs on to make fun of my "driving skills" when that just was not the case. Since I know bc I was driving the car and my child was is the back seat. I also was going about 30. You have no life...we could have died and you are making fun of the driver. Your lame.

And as for the cop...he was a really great guy and was a lot of help...you also have no life...

Just sayin......get a life......

Unplanned Offroading

A great opportunity for our police, if they look into the people connected here!

A way against Offroading and other road accidents

Simple problem indeed needs simple solution. As for offroading and several vehicle accidents, there is no other way but to come up with the proper car maintenance. Sometimes, accidents took place because of several factors especially when there are malfunctioned parts on your vehicle. With the innovation on the technology today, auto makers have end up with safety gears and other necessities that are truly intended for drivers and most of them are now available on online parts like Partstrain. There are additionals as you wish since taking your order is just a few clicks of your mouse away!
