Dang, looks like it was a clean ol T-Bird too. It did its job though, protected the idiot driver.

There are some real idiots that drive on this particular road for some reason. Like the one in the Dodge pickup truck that passed me a few years ago near Howell road. I was in a loaded dump truck going south at 55-60 mph when he passed me. Apparently he was going to pass me that morning no matter what, because when he pulled out from behind me, I was meeting a gravel truck. He came right on and passed me just as we met the gravel truck. I got as far to the right as possible and the gravel truck did the same giving him just enough room to go between us. I’ve put a lot of miles in on a lot of roads, 97 seems to have more than it’s fair share of idiots on it, and the number of accidents on it seem to support this. The road itself is not that bad, it’s wide with several long straight stretches on it.

Why am I not surprised! The RACE TRACK known as Hwy. 97 is an accident waiting to happen. I know at least 12 people have been killed on it in the past 10 years. I don’t know the answer to the problem but Maybe when they start repaving everyone will have to slow down. Driving the speeed limit is dangerous because people pass in nopassing areas on a regular basis. It will just get worse until we have some patrols up here daily. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Value of life is so important and I implore people to slow down and pay attention to the road.

Hwy 97 is so dangerous and now with it being repaved for the next 10 months, it’s going to get worse. I also drive the speed limit and worry when the person behind me is riding my bumper; taking chances when they can’t stand it anymore and fly past me when it’s not the place to do it!

How can the state troopers work the highway, when basically all they do is go from one wreck to another. You know you see a state trooper you slow down and as soon as you are out of sight you speed up again…..then what happens, you get careless.

Sometimes, we have to talk to our friends and neighbors and ask them to please slow down and be careful. Again stay off the cell phones, pay attention to your driving – drive for yourself and the other person. Don’t drive sleepy…..don’t talk to others — light cigarettes– play with the radio, etc.
