Turtle Thanks, but I'm far from perfect.

I am older & wiser now. I used to be "An Angry Young Man" . To note I have not been involved, or close to an accident for over 12 years now. I am a believer in the school of thought that says 99.9% of accidents can be avoided. You MUST be aware of your environment and vigilant in your activities. I am certain that everyone who subscribes to this Forum is.

I work for the United States Post Office, the policy is that all accidents are avoidable.
However, if you were to get rear-ended while sitting at a stop, I see that as un-avoidable.
As I review the accidents for my employer and see where a driver could have slowed or moved or whatever to put his vehicle out of danger. I review my own past and see all the same mistakes. ,
Damn its hard being perfect.(tongue-in-cheek) I wish I had been this intelligent 30 years ago. Maybe then I would not have the scars and bone and tissue damage I carry today.

Well that's my rant for the day, gotta get ready for work. S.
