That's a pretty horrible wreck. Is visibility often a problem there? Kind of incredible that so many cars could pile up like that.
Scary huh? Drivers are terrible here in south Florida! I'm sure you know that though.
I gave up my motorcycle after being here for a month. I almost got killed three times by old folks who could barely see over the dash and didnt turn their heads to look as they turned.
And I am from New Jersey
haha, and arent you in Miami? I went to visit a friend in Miami once and he told me to always wait a few seconds (if you're first in line) before stepping on the gas when your stoplight goes from red to green, because drivers will continue to go through red lights for a few more seconds than normal. :shock:
it was a combination of fog and smoke from a brush fire they said. the visibility was so bad that the first responders were locating victims by their moans and cries for help. truly horrible story.
My cab driver from the airport this am... was having engine issues.,.. instead of pulling over to the side... he stopped his car in the fast lane to restart the engine :shock: :wtf:
Everyone should be taught in driver's ed to pull off the road asap when there's zero visibility so they don't even have to think about what to do. Accidents like this are probably worse because some people get confused and just stop dead in the road and that alone causes more people to crash!
Well the article did say they were trying earlier to closed the highway due to a mixture of fog and a haze of smoke. I live out here in the Wellington/lake Worth area and I've seen fog over 441/A1A maybe 5 times in 5 years, howover when it comes most drivers are very unaware of what to do in fog. We do get many brush fires which are just as dangerous. My fear comes anytime I'm on the road (441) riding my bicycle, any sign of fog I'm NOT RIDING.
BTW....the driving here is bad but when the weather gets bad the erratic driving goes up way up.
