| 798908 | 2009-08-07 02:46:00 | The old fart who ignores all logic and law by changing lanes to avoid causing a rear-end collision. Dont know the road laws in the USA - But here in NZ you are meant to be able to follow at a safe distance to the car in front so you can stop safely without hitting them (Suddenly /emergency stopping included) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 798909 | 2009-08-07 03:16:00 | Dont know the road laws in the USA - But here in NZ you are meant to be able to follow at a safe distance to the car in front so you can stop safely without hitting them (Suddenly /emergency stopping included) It's on the books, but very hard to enforce let alone obey . If everyone left a car length for every ten miles per hour, nobody would be able to get on the roads, looking for a blank space . What the CHiPs try to get is a "safe" distance and that's open to interpretation by the moment, speed and road conditions . If I were - f'rinstance - to leave a space between me and the car in front of me for safety reasons, then three others would jump in and force me back even further - resulting in my going backwards and getting further away from my destination . BUT ---- your point is well taken . If the ol' fart (now to be called: "OF") would have been watching over the steering wheel instead of peering through the spokes and IF he had his hat up off his eyebrows, THEN he might've seen the problem 'way before it required emergency-anything! However, if he just bit the big one and stood on the brakes and (even risking) a rear end collision had resulted, then he'd be clear of any life-and-death causes . The way I see it - HE'S the blood guilty person here, no-one else - even though there was a fender-bender - it only became exacerbated by his murderous actions . |

| 798911 | 2009-08-07 03:30:00 | The Fox The Goose and The Bag of corn Not too sure, but there was no river on that road was there? My fable came from an older fable, roughly remembered. Nearest Google can find is :- An old legend tells about a robber in Cairo who, climbing out of a window, fell and broke his leg. He complained to the Cadi, and demanded justice from the owner because the window casement was defective. The Cadi sent for the owner, who laid the blame on the carpenter. The Cadi sent for the carpenter, who laid the blame on the mason. The mason blamed a pretty girl, who in passing attracted his eye by the pretty gown she wore. The girl blamed the dyer who dyed the gown. The dyer had no excuse to offer, and the Cadi sentenced him to be hanged in his own doorway. Everyone was satisfied, but the executioner came back and said he could not hang the dyer because the door was too low. "Then," said the Cadi, "go, get a short dyer and hang him. We must have justice, though the heavens fall." Somehow Google, I, or both, got it a bit wrong but, the common thread between casements, girls, and cars, is that in each instance teams of lawyers waxed exceeding fat. |
