What's amazing is that there isn't even more accidents than there are. Your story reminds me of the time I came across a hit deer on the four-lanes. It was dusk; I backed up, trained my high beams on it, and put my four-way flashers on. Do you think anybody so much as let off the gas? A truck driver did, but everyone else blew through there, slamming the brakes and swerving at the very last second. Then the Civic came along... too oblivious for even braking and swerving, it hit that deer square at probably 70 mph and the brakes lights never came on. I watched in amazement as the whole car caught some major air, then crashed down in a shower of sparks and shards of plastic. I caught up to it several miles later- easy to do, since his front wheels were splayed out with more extreme caster than even the lowest V-Dub and he or she was going about 10 mph. Heh heh SCHAUDENFREUDE!!!! Pay attention in the future, Buck-O!
