Are they from Quebec? If so, their motto a'int so great. But yeah, even I still chuckle when I think about the death plate, and I've seen them every day for years.

I was in the right-left turn lane, and to my left was a woman in a silver Mercedes C320. The light turned green and I put the car in gear and was about to go when I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I saw it was a car so I stopped. The woman in the Mercedes didn't see it, so the guy ran right through the red light and slammed her car really hard. I was like "OH $HIT!" so I pulled over and put my hazards on and got out to see if they were ok... Some other people stopped too. Thankfully, the woman in the Mercedes was fine. The guy who ran the red light and caused this whole mess was yelling at her for hitting him

, but some big huge guy that was driving behind her (he was driving a Ram) quieted the a-hole down. If I had been a matter of 4 or 5 feet farther out, it would have been me, not her... Is it going to be his fault for running the red, or her fault for hitting him? Anyway... So, I get back on the interstate...

I take that turn almost every day, I am always amazed how many accidents and near accidents I see there. Even more amazing is how many times I get flipped off by someone running the red when I have the green. Makes me appreciate my rural NH neighborhood.

The driving in and around Nashua is bad. It's not the roads, it's the drivers! And it's true that they always think they're doing the right thing, so they give you the finger,etc... I live in a rural area, too (more like the middle of nowhere!), and I'm always glad to get back home.

Wow man, that's some stuff that'll really shake up your head! I'm glad that you kept your head on tight. Add another tally (or two) for BMW's saftey and us just using our heads to keep us out of trouble.

What's sad is, as much as we can rely on the first to keep even idiots out of trouble, idiots can't use the second to keep themselves out of trouble
