[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1453950, member: 4069"] Tragic. Only Boeheim really knows how much attention he was paying. If you ever go down the youtube rabbit hole for driving and crash videos, you'll see endless reminders of how people drive. Not slowing down, not signaling lane changes, not driving predictably, etc. And that's the good ones! There are also of drivers who don't slow down, text, drink, do drugs, get angry and irrational, etc. A wise cop once told me that in his experience, 90% of the time it takes 2 drivers to cause an accident. Once in a while, one can do it (ever have a tire blow out on the highway?). Try to be the driver that prevents the 90% from getting you involved. Those that take chances aren't just risking their own lives. I wish I could say I always lived by that mantra, but sometimes I have to remind myself not to get in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
