(You Too Can) Be the Accident!

There used to be slogans out about "Be the Change."

Well, on my drive back home from the Blues, I saw a few folks dertermined to Be the Accident.

Listen, if you want to go above the speed limit, that's one thing. I do it myself (I know, shocking). If you *really* want to speed, and I'm thinking Autobahn-esque levels of 90/95 MPH, ok. Use caution and *Do What You Can Handle*.

**DO NOT** chop your speed from 95 to 55 (in a 70 zone), especially through the suddent and heavy application of your brakes, because ou see Mr. Policeman on the side of the road. Even more true if he isn't even in his car and has no hope of magically reading the display on his radar.

Doing the above will surely cause you to Be the Accident, unless the other drivers in your pack happen to be better at driving than you are.

If you can't handle the speed, and the consequences, slow down and move over.

Sheesh.
