| I was almost in a wreck today! I had just dropped Lacy and Rylie off at daycare and was heading back to class. I was traveling on a pretty major road (3 lanes going each way at 50mph). I was in the middle lane about to pass by Albertsons and a car pulled out of the parking lot and turned left across our lanes..they really should have waited but I slowed down just a little to make sure they had plenty of time to get across the road. Well then the car behind them decides to turn left too! I was right there going at least 40mph at that point and had to slam on my breaks and vear right really hard to miss them. I don't know how I didn't hit those idiots...I definitely came very close. I'm so glad no one was right behind me or in that right lane. This is a college town and people suck at driving here...they just don't pay attention and take too many risks to save themselves a minutes. You wouldn't believe all the red lights I've seen run through..there are always so many wrecks here. I was in a wreck just a little over a year ago and it was really scary so today really scared me again... I called my mom and was all shaky. If I hadn't had to be in class I would have turned around and gotten that car's liscense plate number and called the police... And I would have been SO PISSED to have been in a wreck since I had an exam this afternoon and am leaving tomorrow to drive 5 hours to go to my parents. I'm glad I had already dropped Lacy and Rylie off.

| I'm sorry too, I always feel like there are never enough cops around to catch all the people that drive like crap. I had a bad road rage incident the other week when some guy got super aggressive and tried to run me off the road on ocean dr. Some people! I never thought I would see it happen, let alone have it happen to me. I guess it's more common than I thought. Thank god that you are ok and that there was no one else in the car with you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers while you are traveling for the holiday. Be safe! |

| I am glad to hear you are okay. I saw an accident today and when one car stopped to yell at the other car (who DID stop)... it held up traffic for 20 minutes ....

| must be something in the air today I ran to the store after class and saw a girl do an illegal u-turn in one of the most dangerous intersections in College Station! People go through red lights there all the time! Then I saw a wreck on my way home after I picked up Lacy and Rylie..someone had ran into the back of someone else. And then I was on the phone with my mom and she was stuck in traffic on the interstate because of a big wreck there. And she told me she saw some idiot go the wrong way up an exit ramp to get out of the traffic It's amazing how STUPID people can be just to save themselves a few minutes...

| Glad everyone is okay! Please everyone be careful on the roads especially this time of year - seems people have their minds on other things.
