Skid marks tell a story...

Have you ever been driving or riding on the road, highway or byway and wondered the story behind the skid marks that lead to GOD knows where? Thinking to yourself, what the hell happened in that situation? What were they doing? Could they have survived going off that cliff? Wondering what the fate was of that skid mark maker. Skid marks tell a story…

Was she looking down on the floor for a ringing cell phone?
Did he have a little too much to drink?
Was she trying to avoid that person that had a little too much to drink?
Was that text message really worth sending?
Was he wearing a seatbelt?
Were the driving conditions too bad to drive in?
Did the constant cry of a child cause her to look back to see what was wrong?
Was the oncoming car in his lane?
Were they a fugitive of the law?
Did that light look green?
Did that deer not heed the flashing of the bright lights?
Did she really need to go that fast to get there?
Was he just not paying attention?
What was his blood alcohol level?
Did they try to break while hydroplaning?
Did she really think she could eat AND drive?
ROAD RAGE?

Whatever the story behind the skid mark, let us not forget the maker. According to the National Car Accidents Statistics, there are more than six million car accidents in the United States. A person will die every twelve minutes as a result of a car accident. That means by the time I finish writing this post, someone will have died. Just remember your decisions on the road not only effects you but they also effect every other driver who left home and prayed for safe travels. Let's work to make 2011 a safer year on the road.
