I Ditto that Amen.

I will say a prayer for that worker, AMN. I hope he/she will be OK.

Warning, graphic video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKm0s2xi3YU

Everyone should be forced to watch this type of video before they drive or renew their dl. It should be part of drivers education.

Ditto Amen!!!!!! A flagger from a neighboring county was struck and killed recently. His body was thrown 150 feet.

I've had people ride my bumper through construction zones. I mean, come on! There's a reason we need to slow down for stuff like that. Even if it's just a utility crew on the side of the road, I slow down as a just in case. Things happen when people are working on stuff.

What's the big hurry, everybody? I mean, is the 3 seconds you gain by riding my bumper really going to make a difference? When someone rides my tail.......it just makes me go slower. Cindy, how is the worker doing? Any word?

We have a law here in GA that states you must move one lane over if you see a law enforcement officer with a stopped car in the emergency lane. Do people follow this rule? Heck, no! And who's going to catch them? Like the officer is going to leave the scene in order to stop the dingbat that blew right past him. I wish one day they would have another officer watching and ready to go after the offenders. I'd pay to see that happen!

Personally, I think each highway worker should be equipped with a laser that could flatten the tires of any car that endangered their life!
