How not to drive a car.

1)Out of control
2)At excessive speeds (see 1)
3)Weaving in and out of lanes at excessive speeds (see 1)

I say this in both a little bit of jest but also in a lot of seriousness. Travelling home last night going South on the Merrit parkway traffic came to standstill. Now the Merrit is a weird road, its a 2 lane (per direction) parkway, where people drive very fast, yet it winds around curves and hills, has no breakdown lane and litterally no where to pull off in case of emergencies. It also encourages some terrible driving habits. Anyway this is the second time in about 2 months that I've seen it where NO cars were coming from the other direction which was a bad sign; and bad for me because as mentioned being as skinny a road as it is, the other side is often i) either part of the accident or ii)used for cleanup

So eventually I get to where there are flashing lights everywhere, (the Northbound side was not going to go anywhere for a while) and there is ice (from the firetruck) everywhere even in my lane, then I saw the wreck, and its like everything goes out of you. It was what was left of an Acura SUV, I say this because the only thing that looked like anything was a tire that must have been ejected when the car started rolling. The rest of the object on the wrecker was a smoldering burned out blackened mass of twisted metal. This goes back to my original points; this accident took place on one of the few straightaways on the Merrit, therefor to flip a car to get it to roll required excessive speeds and turning violently. I just hope and pray that there wasn't anyone else in the car outside of the driver. I dont see anyway that anyone could walk away from that. Its a terrible thing a car wreck, a life snuffed out that quickly for what? getting somewhere a couple minutes earlier? Is it ever worth that risk? I don't think so.
