The water looked so nice today after all that stormy weather she just wanted a closer look.
Must be save a Pole Week.
The tree,,,,,now that’s another matter.
Slow down guys.
Gonna need something bigger than that little car to move that tree stump.
I shudda been a collision investigator…..I need a part-time job!
You have a part-time job already idiot. Working as a paid blogger for the oba.
Hahaha!! That was funny
Praise the Lord they didn’t slide a little earlier and go overboard.
With so many accidents recently you would think “people” would be more cautious on the roads
But of course, there are several reasons to explain why one has an accident right?
I’m stumped for words!
So is the car driver!!
Why did the car cross the road???????????
Stumped for an answer!!!
To hit the chicken on the other side?
tired govment worker driving home after a tough 2 day week?
Does this “driving epidemic” never end!! Every week there is another “nonsensical accident” in an Island with a 25 MPH speed limit!! The criminal court system has to start getting serious – to address this problem!!
How many “warning bells” need to go off?? The police and the “courts” are NOT doing their jobs to try and stamp this out!!
I totally agree with “MAKE MY DAY”. Far too much has been going on with drunk drivers, speeders or just plain old carelessness! It is time for the Laws to be enforced / changed so that the punishments do fit the crimes.
Evidently neither you Raymond Ray or make my day has read the recent Police report which states that accidents have declined considerably in the last 3 months, especially people being booked for DUI after being in an accident. So I would say the police and the courts ARE doing their job more efficiently.
I believe that is a matter of “opinion” Herb. Yes, the Police have showed a decline in accidents for the year of 2014 but you nor anyone else can prove there hasn’t been an increase in recent weeks / month?
20mph, but point taken. Im sure Crockwell is busy getting that committee together
[/sarcasm]
Spped limit is 20 mph not 25.
Why do you all think that it is a speeding problem. Maybe the driver was medically ill.
Possible but not very likely. It does happen on very rare occasions.
Oh that one again? “i blacked out”? Yeah, we haven’t heard that one for a week or two. The standard excuse for SVA’s.
Dont know who would put a tree or pole in those silly places!
Not another 3rd lane?!
