Yes, Puddin I did turn it in. LOL Along with a discription of the car.
kudos to you who got the tag number of the red car. Any chance you turned it in to FHP?
Yes, Football Mom I am. LOL the front car took off like all get out. I tried to stay in front of him to slow him down but of course everyone beside me let him out in the other lane. I didn’t get in front of him on purpose but I found myself in front of him. When he got in front of me I took down his tag number. LOL Last time I saw him he was headed back to Escambia county AL. That is where his tag was from.
I think those bright marquee signs should be illegal.. They’re distracting to say the least. The Casino here has one that’s so bright I try my best to avoid that area at night. It’s worse than texting and driving in my opinion because you can’t see anything, and that doesn’t mean that people slow down and drive more carefully either.
Regarding the accident in front of the paper mill:
That guy in the Red FORD nearly ran me off the road down by Wal-Mart, he was in such a hurry to get somewhere. Later, I was right behind the red Chevy Cobalt that ran into his red Ford as we were stopped for a train and the traffic was slow. He got out, looked, threw his hands in the air and left the scene. I’m glad no one was hurt, but it was most definitely leaving the scene of an accident. I wondered if he had drugs, had stolen the car or something else! I’m glad someone got the tag number. Thanks Century!
I’m with FHG. I was riding with my husband and children looking at Christmas lights and was suddenly blinded by the new window lights. I’m just glad my husband was driving because I couldn’t see anything!
Century……are u talking about a wreck in front of the paper mill where a red Chevrolet car rear ended someone? I was a couple of cars behind it when it pulled into the old BP and I was curious how the front of it was smashed but noone else was. Guess the front guy was in a hurry huh?
I wonder if they were blinded by the strikingly bright marquee lights installed around each window recently? They were installed on Muscogee store at the same time. I thought the place was on fire at first it was so bright. Not fun to be their neighbor. I wonder if there is an ordinance, huh silly me, of course there isn’t.
LOL I have the tag number of a car that was in a wreck Christmas Eve in Cantonment. He was hit in the rear-end and he could not get out of there fast enough. It just struck me funny, so at another red-light I wrote down his tag number.
Cantonment sure has had their share of wrecks this Christmas season.
