It was an accident. Get off your high horse. Stuff happens. He wasn't charged with impaired, he wasn't charged with no license... he was charged with a traffic ticket.
Don't comment for the sake of commenting.
Dug 1/28/2013 11:58:37 AM ReportYou guys related?? :-)
moem 1/28/2013 12:13:34 PM ReportHe failed to yield, it's not simply an accident, he was at fault, and should be more careful, thankfully nobody was injured.
SandyB 1/28/2013 12:22:15 PM ReportI always tell my students that no one should die because of a mistake made..
For those of you who have never made a mistake when driving any vehicle, well done. Pat yourself on the back.. Most of us have or will.
Glad no one was hurt.

SuzyyQ 1/28/2013 2:27:32 PM Report @ rcssm69, are you mocking me? LMAO
jojoe71 1/28/2013 5:15:30 PM ReportI think an accident involves road conditions ...black ice...white outs.. etc....but if you can't look both ways before you leave your driveway then I agree with some posters...that's just plain IDIOCY..JMHO
jojoe71 1/28/2013 5:19:20 PM Reportidiocy and bone head same thing. I prefer idiocy :)
SuzyyQ 1/28/2013 5:27:22 PM Reportthanks jojoe
MikeQ 1/29/2013 7:27:56 AM Reportlol, no not related.
I just think that calling someone a bonehead for making a mistake when driving, isn't being a bonehead, it's being human. If it said "he was found with drugs" or "he had outstanding warrants" or even "he was under the influence"... well then yes, bonehead. But he failed to yield, and definitely got the brunt force of the accident. Glad he's alive, glad he'll be more careful (I'm sure) when he's snowmobiling, and glad that the peanut gallery that can leather-chair criticize a person who made a driving mistake is a small and meaningless few.
