Alert | | I just saw it. It was 2 younger guys maybe in their early 20's who rolled over. I also saw the 4 officers standing in a circle laughing and talking as every one stopped to watch them. | | | |

Alert | #$(*&%#$(*%&#$(*%-dam rubber-neckers. The one day I decide to go into town and I have to deal with you retarded god-forsakin rubberneckers slowing traffic when I return. There was even an OFFICER out there ENCOURAGING you retards to GO BY at speed!!!!
rubberneckers = retards, in my book.
What is it with you retards? If you want to look and gawk, PULL OVER. Is it that hard to see the common sense through your retarded heads? | |

Alert | | Yeah, passed it right after it happened. The two young men were standing around. No major injuries at least on this one. <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/satisfied.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Satisfied' align='absmiddle'> | |

Alert | | No, no, speeding cannot be the cause for most accidents (too fast for a curve would be an exception, but you've got to be going exceptionally fast, think 120+ to go off the road on 347). Contributory, yes. Cause, no. What caused it? | |

100% agree.. I got caught up in the "did anyone die? Are there any dead bodies? OOOH, an overturned truck" hoopla as well..
PULL OVER IF YOU WANT TO GAWK!!!!! I want to get home.. I actually got caught behind some doofus who decided to make a phone call after passing the accident!!!

Alert | | Jason the cause was speeding douche. I was there you weren't. They were going too fast to control their vehicle and then rolled. It was as if they were doing something in the truck cause they swerved and then couldn't get control and it flipped. Had they been going a lot slower, it would have been a lot easier to get control of the vehicle. It was a combination of things, but speeding was #1. Again, you think you know everything and you weren't even there. Just for the sake of the forum, stay out of this one since you weren't a witness. | | | |

Thank you for confirming what I said. They were rummaging around in their truck, they lost control and flipped it. That happens at all kinds of speeds. Granted, higher speeds make it more difficult to regain control.
So again, the cause was that they were not paying attention to their driving and speed contributed to the severity of the accident. Thank you for playing the "I can't use English to save my life" game. Better luck next time!  | |

Alert | | Are you kidding me? This just goes to show how big of a douche bag you really are. My English is/was perfect. I love how you egg people on in this foum. Do you feel safe hiding behind your computer screen? Everyone knows you're the complete opposite in real life. | | | |

Alert | LOL! Think about it. Slowly. Yes, your sentence construction was perfect, but you missed the point. English is more than just constructing grammatically correct sentences. You failed on the understanding of what I said and then contradicted yourself in your own posts. You claimed that speeding caused the accident and then went on to say the real cause of the accident: rummaging in the truck.
So...without any real argument left you attack me. If you did know me in real life, you would know that I act the same way on the forum as I do in real life. | |
