Yep, I agree. Saw some stats for Maryland where speeding is out of control. The number of tickets given for going over 20 mph over the speed limit has increased by 20% over the past 5 years and the number of tickets given for going over 30 mph over the speed limit has increased by 63% over the past five years.

Three years ago, I saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee flip over right in front of me because the driver was not paying attention to the road. She had just picked up her wedding dress and had three other women in the car with her. A car was off the road in the median throwing up grass everywhere trying to get back on the road and everybody was rubber necking. Problem is, this lady rubber necked before noticing that everybody in front of her was doing likewise. When she looked forward again, she realized she wasn't going to stop in time so she tried to pull out onto the shoulder. Problem with that was that the car in front of her had the same idea. She then cut the Jeep back to the right to get back in her lane and it commenced to flip over. It flipped three times, and everybody lived. I was driving a Ford Escape and had absolutely no problem because I tend not to pay attention to what is happening on the side of the road unless it is headed my way.
