[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 938700, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B]Brownslave688, I am an older UPS driver that has driven over a million miles, mainly on country roads. Every vehicle on the road is a threat to you, no matter the age of the other driver. Just last night, I came upon a "thirty something" year old woman that had taken out 100 yards of fence line on a back country road. It was a bull fence. 5" posts set every 6ft, hog wire on the bottom and two strands of barb on the top. She was doing 70mph on a road that should be driven at a safe speed of 35. Luckily, her baby was in a car seat and no one got hurt, except her SUV and the fence. She was texting. Ironically, that same morning I delivered to an 80yr old man that I have known for years. He stopped me when I was going back to my pkg car and had a serious look on his face. This is exactly what he said to me; " I am a firm believer in the law of averages, and you live on the road. Be damn careful out there." True wisdom. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
