SAFETY: Danger on the roads

At most of the SARX, I often hear the warning, "flight itself is not inherently dangerous. Arrogantly taking it for granted or ignoring procedures and demonstrating a lack of attention to detail is deadly". All true. Another point often made is, "we are at more risk when driving to and returning from our meetings". PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE TOO!

Last night, this PA officer was returning from Wing eastbound on Rte 384 East toward Manchester. Unfortunately another driver was traveling WEST on 384 EAST at a very high rate of speed. Myself and two other vehicles made, in the scope of about 1-2 seconds, an identical decision to jink our cars to the right avoiding a multiple vehicle, head on crash with a closure rate of at least 140 miles per hour by a foot or two.

All things considered I will always listen to my training instructors!
