I saw a story on this a few weeks ago. I was really amazed at how often this happens. It is not uncommon at all for people to get on the wrong way of a highway.. But can be very tragic. Almost always happens at night, and usually it's related to tired or impaired drivers.
When I was about 10 years old, we were on vacation and somewhere down around Richmond at about 9 at night on our way back to the hotel.. This was like 50 years ago. But, it was dark, we were in an area unknown to us. There were very poor road signs. And we ended somehow getting on a road exit that was taking us to a highway where we were going to be going the wrong way. Yes, it was our family, and no was impaired.
Luckily a local, lady, was coming onto the ramp slowly, and was able to flash her lights and my dad stopped. She explained the road in that area was a mess, and was glad to help us get turned around, and maybe saved us. She actually turned her car to block the exit, had flares, and all.
Very kind lady. She could've been really rude, but was really nice and helped us.
You'd be surprised to learn that this happens in broad daylight in Ocean City streets all the time. Fortunately, the speed limits are far lower.

BAN BOOZE
Likely phone involved. A little bit of sence invoulnerability as well. Most seasoned providers or parents, realize they need to be extra careful for their family.

I know your comment was a joke.
A knee-jerk reaction to a tragedy . . . remove freedom from all people in hopes that the tragedy will never ever be repeated.
How sad and pathetic for a person who actually believes it is a proper response to tragedy.
Humans have FREE WILL given to us by our Creator.
Without it, we would absolutely hate life.
