Moronic drivers

[JDgreen227]

My girlfriend is stuck halfway between Flint and Lansing, she was enroute to her teaching stint at college for this afternoon. Some moron with a semi jackknifed his rig and has been blocking a large part of the eastbound freeway lanes...my feelings are that people who are careless enough during bad weather to obstruct traffic by getting off the road should be fined a minimum of $10,000 an hour for the delays they cause. When one considers all the other motorists who are inconvenienced and have to cancel appointments, etc. because one driver was careless or not paying attention, maybe if they enacted laws that REALLY cost bad drivers money people would slow down and pay more attention.

I have a favorite saying: "Accidents don't just happen, they are CAUSED"

You would never collect it from morons, they rarely have money. You might get it from a regular guy who encountered a situation he was not trained in or had never experienced before. You could easily bankrupt him, destroy his small business, his family, and his life. Lawyers would take their share and the people who were inconvenienced would get very little or nothing.

Where trucks are concerned, we would all pay for the fine in higher consumer costs anyways.

I say amputate their right legs at the knee and let them beg for a living at the mall. That would be true justice.

Face it. There are just some who should never be allowed behind the wheel.

Gotta love the posts from people who have never made a mistake in their lives.

Moronic.

Stupid, foolish, senseless, brainless, mindless, idiotic, imbecile, insane, lunatic, asinine, ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd, preposterous, silly, inane, witless, half-baked, empty-headed, unintelligent, slow-witted, weak-minded, crazy, dumb, brain-dead pea-brained, pinheaded, dopey, dim, dimwitted, half witted, dippy.


I did not know it could mean all these things. Sort of sounds like our government.

It's always easy to blame the guy in the ditch or sideways across the road ... while the instigator cruises on oblivious to what others got into trying NOT to run their bum a__ over or to get out of his/her way. (good intentions gone bad?)

JD, we cancelled Lansing today for weather and the herds of texting student commuters (MSU, MCC) that often clog 69. At least we had a choice of going out in this s__. (btw: do you guys see notifications ('alerts') of PMs when visiting TBN via cel app?)

I don't know about the OP, but for me about 22,000 'days in MI' ... so far. (excluding military school and Army service.)

I did offer to drive this week ...
