    I’ll never understand why those poles and trees keep jumping in front of cars.

    Right ON, knowing there are some areas where the roads and signs are somewhat to blame yet the drivers are the Responsible Person in these many many too many wrecks.
    Insurance is based on where we live and goes up in areas where there are many wrecks.
    Really do Appreciate that William and others report the crashes in North Escambia. Helps keep us on our toes and informed.
    Saw a bad wreck in Pensacola the other day and not one peep from the television stations, radio or newspaper. Car went over embankment on Bayfront Parkway and was flipped upside down on rocks by the water. No reporting on that at all.
    All of Y’all just be real careful and safe in all the rain coming our way and if you drive at all you know where the low spots are. God Bless.
    Remembering all of those in our Armed Forces who Gave Their LIVES to protect our Freedoms, Thank You.

    The vehicle weight didn’t have anything to with the wreck. It was the driver. Lighter vehicles handle better FWIW..

    We need to count these wrecks every week. I just paid $24.61 for another 6 months coverage because of where I live. I know it is bad but it didn’t used to be this way. I am blaming the weight of these vehicles, forget better mileage, we need safety!
