What a terribile accident caused by an impatient motorist.

I also cross Kam highway at Swanzy Beach park almost daily walking our dogs. At least once a week there is some idiot that either A) passes the slowing cars on the LEFT over the double yellow line or B) passess the slowing cars on the RIGHT by swerving into shoulder. Twice the (B) approach resulted in me and our dogs almost getting hit because a motorcyclist decided to swerve around the cars.

Just a month ago, my wife was stopped on Kam highway waiting to cross the traffic and turn into the 7-11. A woman in a car behind here was very impatient and zoomed past her on the left over the double yellow line just as my wife started to turn. It was a very loud crash that resulted in no injuries but $5K in damage to my wife’s car and the totaling of the idiot driver’s car as she spun around a hit a pole.

She apologize and said she was really in a hurry to get home after a long day. She was 1/4 mile from home.

What is it with drivers that cross over the double yellow line to pass??

I’ve been a friend of frank’s for 40 years, and had just spent 3 weeks at his house taking care of his dog and bird. He will be devestated by the loss of his beloved little corgi–as will his friends and neighbors–One of my son’s was a motorcycle rider and I know full well the dangers of such accidents–and the terrible injuries they risk to others and themselves. I can only pray for my dear friend and the young woman who hit him.
