Speed Demons
At the entrance to my neighborhood is a dangerous intersection. Folks come
flying around the corner at 30 MPH or so. I live one street into the neighborhood. I almost get slammed regularly cause folks come flying into the neighborhood, whip around the corner. I nearly bought it today, someone came flying in. Of course, since it's around the corner I can't see them coming. I stomped on the brakes, hard pack snow, and slid a foot. We missed each other, fortunately. But it got me thinking. What would be good and slippery to pour on that interesection? I mean, the main street is level, and the side street slopes down gently. Wouldn't take much to make folks go off the road and into the yard. I think there is also a big rock (about four feet tall) at that intersection. Would cooking oil do the trick? How about "mineral oil" or baby oil? Seems like there oughta be something that would work, and would be biodegradable. -- Christopher A.

Creating a hazard of any kind is not a good idea. When you back out
of your driveway make sure your lights are on and remove anything that is blocking your view. Keep your distance, be aware. |

How about reporting it to the Police Dept so they can send a squad car
out to monitor that intersection ? You dont go round taking the law into your own hands...regardless of whether its written in a fallacious book or not. |

I swear you just bought back bad memories of an accident in Queens NY
in 1987 involving a disgruntled neighbor who was sick and tired of kids drag racing on his block, so he poured oil down on the street. Then 2 kids in a Mustang GT convertible hit the slick,went out of control, and wrapped around a tree, killing the driver, hurting the passenger. The man who caused the accident was arrested. I happened to be there that night. I did not see the accident, but I saw the car wrapped around the tree. This is a true story, no BS. It was on the news. Maybe someone else who lives in the area remembers this story. |

I don't recall. It could have been manslaughter, but I'm not sure I was trying to do a search on it before, but could not find anything. It happened on Francis Lewis Boulevard in Queens,NY. I know it was in Nov 1987. |

On 1/6/2005 10:57 AM US(ET), effi took fingers to keys, and typed the
following: do you recall what the perpetrator was charged with? In NYS, it could be numerous charges: Two of which a SEC. 120.25 Reckless endangerment in the first degree. A person is guilty of reckless endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, he recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to another person. Reckless endangerment in the first degree is a class D felony. SEC. 125.15 Manslaughter in the second degree. A person is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree when: 1. He recklessly causes the death of another person Manslaughter in the second degree is a class C felony. Class D felony = up to 7 years. Class C felony = up to 25 years And let's not forget civil actions. Mucho Dinero. "Mikepier" wrote in message roups.com...

I remember that too, I lived about 2 blocks from there at the time.
I found this article, which is about a different accident but does mention some details of that incident as well about 2/3 of the way through the article.. http://www.queenstribune.com/feature...pTheSpeed.html I never knew that the person who oiled the road was eventually acquitted...but even so...
