Notice the reference to seatbelt use? The article about the guy rear-ending a car on 211 a couple weeks back neglected this fact that is in EVERY vehicle accident news story.

So this is an asleep at the wheel fatality or a drunk driver one. Sorry to his family.

At 80 miles an hour you don't drive your vehicle back across the road,let's be honest here at those speeds your vehicle is in control and takes you wherever it wants to go,why would anyone report such a stupid comment that would indicate this driver had any control.
