I'm sorry for your losses man, that a really sucky situation. We have some places like that around here too, one of my friends in high school was late a couple times a year cause someone rolled their car into her front yard/porch/house (depending how fast they were going, lol). Anyway, I hope they change the road up there for you guys, can anyone sign the petition or just people from Canada and Nova Scotia?

I live at the end of the most dangerous highway in Canada. Highway 63 between edmonton and fort mcmurray. I know exactly what you mean Regit. It sucks. They are in the process of twininning it but that will take several years.

People in rural Spain are not as bad as in rural Mexico, but...

I was at this one guys house in Spain and we were out on the patio having dinner and heard tires screeching. He says "wait for it" and holds up his hand. As he dropped his hand we heard the crump of a fender bender at an intersection a few hundred feet down the road from his house

Nobody much obeyed that stop sign. owned.gif
