[Rozman]

What we now need is leadership from the WH...

 

[Rozman]

This is happening more and more frequently...
Where is the outrage.....?

 

[ScreamingEagle]

Ban icy weather.......!

oh wait.....we need to TAX companies that produce co2 in order to prevent the global climate changes that cause icy weather that cause buses to crash that kill people.....

 

[syrenn]

Its the tires!!! lets go after the tire manufactures!!!

 

[Rozman]

I just know that I speak for all of us here when I say that I feel comfortable knowing
that we are in good hands with the Democrat party looking out for our safety.I am
happy that the Democrats will move swiftly to ban buses and subways now that they
have proven to be so deadly.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Ban Interstates!

How typical of rw's to make fun of children being murdered.

31 school shootings since Columbine.

Can't you at least PRETEND to care?

Somebody did something wrong here. Either the bus driver was driving too fast for conditions or someone else was and lost control and forced the bus driver to swerve. Anyway - this was no "accident" like the media always says.

Somebody should hang for this but nothing will be done.

 

[Rozman]

Its the tires!!! lets go after the tire manufactures!!!

Maybe it's the air in the tires....
It should be regulated to meet the Democrat party
specifications.

Litigation...call all the slip and fall lawyers.

I lived in Oregon for 5 years. After leaving Wyoming, one of my first winters there, I noticed on a day when black ice covered a good portion of the roadways, people wound up in ditches on either side of the road. They weren't used to that kind of problem, because often, where we lived, it just didn't freeze much.

People in some parts of the state are not acquainted with slowing down in icy conditions. In truly cold states, people know that if 15 mph still feels like you're slipping, you reduce to 5 and stay that way until you get home safely. It just isn't worth it. Steel belted radials are good tires in cold weather, but on icy roads, your best friend is the knowledge that if you have to be somewhere soon, let it go. Slow down until your car feels safe. If it's 5 mph, let that be your speed. If you've only driven a couple of blocks from home, you might consider going back home and cancelling your drive. If it's an emergency, call an ambulance.

I'm sure more kids are killed in car crashes each year than are killed by guns. But you liberals ignore that. Get help please.

Everybody knows that just like they know it's wrong to drive drunk or drive while texting or run red lights. People do it anyway cuz the penalties are so slight. We need a law that anyone found guilty of vehicular homicide must do at least 20 years in the can.

good advice...Oregon has many hilly winding scenic roads where black ice can 'suddenly' appear.....especially patches where large evergreens shade the road....very dangerous....
