@Pat You were not there and therefore cannot speculate on why my wife crashed. Furthermore, there are several yellow Cobalts in the area, so do not asssume that this terrible driver you’ve claimed to have seen was my wife.

For the record, my wife crashed because she was turning in the rain and it was very windy.

@John—Been there done that on my cell phone small screen. Didn’t mean to make a big deal out of it, but it could matter if someone was doing a search & using the wrong spelling.

Good grief people, who in world cars about the model of car???? Seriously? There’s no need to debate that on here.

A person was fortunate enough to walk away from an accident which clearly she caused. I’ve seen her around here. She flies down the road and usually on her phone.

Way too many people are distracted by their phones these days. It’s crazy out here. Be on the defensive when driving. It may save your life!

@John—It is NOT “Cobolt”. It is “Cobalt”, with an A. I used to have one. A very nice car. I owned 4 over the years, & my last one was yellow. I believe they were originally called a Cavalier.

REGARDING:
“Your search didn’t show a cobolt”

No, it didn’t, but the question wasn’t why this specific rollover happened but why they are so common. I don’t know what all caused this one but do know part of why most happen.

David for squirming when necessary

(And thanks, Linda.)

I think the light weight of some of the cars and the speeds driven – particularly when the roads are wet – also plays a factor. I’m amazed at the number of people I see screaming down the road when it’s wet. It’s like somewhere along the way we have lost the idea that if it’s wet the car will slide and that you need to slow down a little and allow longer distances for braking.

I’ll rant another day about all the tailgating…

Mark (and any one else who would question David Huie Green’s comments):

In my humble opinion, David clarifies and makes the stories more interesting by adding his comments. I love his intelligent input!

Linda for David
