Default Lesson Learned in Guam Nov 21, 2005

Well, a horible accident just happen this morning. Cars were backed up on both lanes bumper to bumper. Dirvers in cars cuzing at each other not knowing what happen at the end. People complaing they be late for work. Others in a verge of road rage becuase another car just cut in line. When We finnaly got to the scene, we saw a tractor trailer on top of an Echo. Unfortunatly, the scene has left on person dead, the driver of the echo. Lesson learned while everyone is complaining how late their gonna be at work, JUST BE GLAD THAT YOU MADE IT SAFE!!!. I rather be late to work, than being involded in a accident that might cost your life.


As far as the driver of the tractor, he survived. My question is what the hell was he (tractor driver) doing??????? Making a turn at 60mph is very dangereous. News media reports that the driver lost his brakes.

Well I don't get mad about being stuck in traffic, as I am glad that I actually have a reason to be late...lol...But really that whole accident sucks, and it is a shame that people complain about small stuff when something major like that has happened. I guess some people just need a wake up call.

its not those major accidents on Guam that ____mehoff. I understand stuff happens, and it is very unfortunate about the death, I never have any problem with letting a few people in when they have their signals on, and they try to get in as soon as they see the lane closed. its those jerks that speed up, go around and then try and sneak in as far ahead of all the other traffic as they can get. Them, and the fender benders where they park in the middle of the road, and don't move their vehicles blocking another lane. its like they have some stupid belief that if they move the scene of the accident they will lose on thier Claims report, or it is illegal. it is only a fender bender, move it into a parking lot, and wait for the police to show up, no need to park your car in the middle of the road!!! ARGGGGGG.

Drive to College last night: 1 hour 30 minutes. normally 15 minutes.

Total of 4 accidents that i went past, one was the major Truck / Echo accident, Two VERY SMALL fender benders (where the guy behind accidentally tapped the person in traffic when he was moving up) and then a Medium sized three car fender bender that could have been moved, it happened right at a stop sign overflowing into the main lane...
