Yes, I can see what you mean! Is all flat land here - and I "do" mean flat. Had a trucker deliver out here the other day and I gave him very simple instructions. He called and kept asking if he turns yet....No! Now?.....No! Now?.....No! Seems like every 1/4 mile or so. He finally made it, and I gave him VERY simple instructions to get back to civilization with. ...Never heard whether or not he made it. *lol*
Yes, with roads like that and other such obstructions, not even lowering the speed limit would make much of a difference. Certainly wouldn't eliminate the risk of such accidents.

Hmm...what did this one accident cost? Wreckage, hospitalization, lost pay, emergency responders, cleanup, and even the costs of investigation? ...What about the costs to families of the injured?

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
