IMBO, the worst drivers that I have encountered in the US are from NJ and the most skilled from the US in Central California in the Sierra Nevada region.

I was just in california 3 weeks ago and I found them to be just as bad of drivers as in NJ. I feel the best drivers are from areas where it snows 9 months of the year. When I lived in the upper peninsula of michigan yes speed limit is 55 and most drivers do 70mph but people didnt pull out in front of you.

Somehow, I think making contact with a human body should also be a charge, one that stays on her license for a really, really long time.

How is the shoulder coming along? These things can take a while to heal.

Feels fine. No pain today but alittle stiff. Seeing an upper extremity specialist today.

The Sierra Nevadas and the Tahoe region gets a lot more snow than Michigan. :roll:

You guys have obviously never been to Conyers GA. They are the worlds worst drivers. I think it has something to do with the giant syphilis outbreak there a few years ago. But what do I know right?

Glad you seem to be healing up ok Story. :kicking:

Doc cleared me for light duty. Told me he likes my kind of injury even if it leaves more money out of his pocket. Good guy

and, just for fun - the bills won't arrive for another 6 months. i have a new idea for legislation: Hospital/medical bill payments are not required to commence until the first day after the longest lapse between the event and the bill reaching you.

glad you're ok, but tread lightly!
still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

her insurance is paying for everything. I'm not signing closing papers unless they agree to pay any ongoing medical bills from this event. Same thing that happened to my arm in my "blog" link. I'm still getting bills for that accident from 06.
