Jim of all people should be aware of this sort of road bed danger.
Those sorts of bridges are a nightmare for scooter riders. Freeway
overpasses on cold wet windy nights are nearly as bad as the ice that
forms on them is both invisible and unexpected.


Sure. This is why I don't talk on a cell phone. Bad conditions
or otherwise. I have too much respect for the other road users.

Bottom line is, she screwed up. She almost died. Next time
I bet she'll leave the phone alone. Darwin *almost* worked there.

And if the same thing had happened in a vehicle with no cell phone?


But it didn't, did it? It merely made a bad driver worse, and she
still doesn't get it. That's the worst part...if she doesn't sue
(for her negligence.)


Would you then commit seppuku?

No other similar accidents have occured on this bridge that didnt
involve cell phones?


Why was it a ONE-car accident, Gunner, if the bridge was so iced up
and unsafe? How many other accidents happened there within the hour?
I'll give you odds that it was her screwup alone.
