i just came out of North Carolina a couple of days ago and i'm glad i wasn't caught in that mess.

I wish Congress or somebody would make Driver's Education (for everybody) a HIGH priority.

I live about 40 miles away from this. All the news and radio kept saying was a tractor trailer crossed the median and caused a massive wreck. In this story it wasn't even the TT's fault. I hate to see this no matter who is at fault. I just don't like the bad rep the news puts on us.

The headlines on radio should say: Pick-up truck lost control after blowout and causes T/T to crash.

The media did the same crap here a few weeks ago in Orlando. The "truck driver did this" and the "truck driver" did that in the Orlando Sentinel and on TV. It was a Pick up truck that rear ended a family of 3 killing everyone in the car.

The pickup that appeared to cause the wreck had a tire blowout, per the witness'. What would driver's ed do to fix that?? It's not everyday that your having a tire let go nor something you can practice so as not to wreck or lose control.
