Sorry for your accident, that is no fun! Good luck with the repairs.

My observation is that in Charlotte, stop signs are mere suggestions to a lot of people.


I think that DMV should develop tougher criteria for drivers. A CAT scan should be required of every driver.



Yes, I know, people run stop signs in every city on earth, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

Was the driver who ran the stop sign visiting for the ACC Championship this weekend? Leaving work Friday, I saw a lot of visitors getting lost / panicking in Uptown while driving.

Back when I was living in Charlotte, I was in the passenger seat of a car that was t-boned. Young girl, "borrowed" grandma's car, no license. She said something like, "I thought it was strange the breaks were not working, but I thought maybe that would change after I drove awhile." Grhhhh!

I'm sorry.

People who run stop signs get under my skin too. I am very happy that You and your Husband are okay.
