People keep dying

I really don't get 1 thing that why do people drive so fast and in 70 to 80 mph an accident hmmm seems strange

You should see some of the threads (another forum) about "squatters" in the left lane from people out here. As far as they are concerned, if they are going faster than you are, no matter if you are already speeding, then you SHOULD get out of their way. And if you don't then YOU should get the ticket for blocking them. It's crazy.
We do not live in Germany and we don't drive on the Autobahn. You (they) don't get the "flash to pass" right and if someone already exceeding the speed limit as well as PASSING those in the lane to the right of them, get over yourself. You'll probably get where you are going a whole 5 seconds later than you would have had they not been there in the first place.

It is actually a Washington state law that drivers that are not passing other cars need to move to the right. No camping in the fast lane, regardless of speed. Now the fact that *everyone* ignores it is rather painful. It's especially bad when many of our main highways are two lane only each direction.

The joke around here is that there is lead/follow everywhere else but we have lead/follow/accompany where the driver in the fast lane just paces the car next to them for miles. On the plus side, the police are actually starting to enforce the law and give people tickets as it leads to a lot of road frustration.

There are laws like that here as well, but I'm not talking about someone pacing the car next to them, but people getting po'd because the one in front isn't going fast enough for THEM, even though they are passing cars to their right.

Another source says: Deputies believe high cross winds may have played a role in the crash

That's the area my family hails from. It's also the area Red Skelton is from. I wonder if Curtis was a distant relative?

You're right Red was from Vincennes, just up the road, only us old people will remember him!

Of course I didn't do a ancestry.com, but Red's only son died at 10 years old with leukemia and I didn't see any direct references to Red's family in Curtis's obituary.
