Tip of the day, brought to you by belizeit

If you're driving a small car, don't drive illegally on the partially paved shoulder of a one lane road and then cut off a 24' dump truck. Because when you do, and then bring a civil suit saying the truck driver was negligent, the jury is going to go into deliberation and laugh their asses off at you.

I had to serve on jury duty last week, and this was my case. I feel bad for the lady because it was obviously very traumatic for her (car flipped and then hit a telephone pole) but really. I'm amazed that she ever considered that move to be worth the risk! Indifferent

    Oh gosh.  Not surprising though since I'm convinced the DC area is full of horrible drivers... who have wacked out senses of right vs. wrong.  Don't even get me started =P

    Yikes!  Lady doesn't sound like she was firing on all cylinders.  At least it wasn't a long deliberation!

    Totally.

    Every day that we make it home without having an accident I am amazed. We've been commuting into the city for nearly 5 years now and it feels like we are on borrowed accident-free time at this point.

    I'm convinced it's all the people who aren't from here originally and it just becomes this melting pot of driving cultures.

    I grew up here and feel like I drive quite well but holy hell - every time I go out I come across at least one a$$hat driver!
