If it’s a tie, you lose.
A city boy will never learn everything a country boy knows by instinct. A country boy will learn everything a city boy knows in six months.–Bennett Cerf

The stupidity of the average driver never ceases to amaze me – although I should stop being amazed when it comes to driver stupidity.
I have to wonder what else she may have been doing other than driving…talking (or texting) on a cell phone perhaps? I would not be surprised.

Suicide attempt? A lot of grade crossing accidents are actually suicide attempts. The rest are dumbness, and they have been going on since long before cell phones.
Driving back from Va. Bch. Tuesday I once again was impressed with how much my using cruise control makes the erratic driving of others stand out.

If she wanted to commit suicide, she should have picked a train moving faster than 10 mph. I’ll stick with my theory of simple stupidity (or simply stupid).
