It was the Street Signs Fault.... really it was!

So today I was talking with someone who had asked me what happened to my ankle as they saw my cast. I gave the quick explanation of I was in a car accident and shattered my Talus and just recently underwent another surgery to correct the damage....and all the normal questions and answer which is no biggie I am totally used to that situation, so we got to talking a bit more and she told me that her aunt was in a car accident several years ago as well. So of course I asked what happened cause I like everyone one who asks me about what happen am just a curious about the details :)

I find out her Aunt was driving drunk, talking on her cell phone, and speeding in excess of 100 MPH and ended up rolling her car over. The aunt lived but has many injuries that she will was healing from for quite sometime along with some permanent damage as well.... But the part that KILLED me was the shear denial this woman said to me it has nothing to do with the alcohol or the speeding or talking on her cell phone it was because she swerved a bit off the end of the road and hit a road sign which caused the car to flip over, so essentially long story short her explanation was "it was the road signs fault" that the accident happen ...... REALLY this is how you rationalize it?? Me personally and I am sure I speak for many of us,  I am glad the road sign was there cause you know what your aunt injured HERSELF and HERSELF ONLY, she did not kill, maim, or injure some innocent driver and his/her passengers cause your aunt thought it would be cool to drink and drive 100+ MPH..... I guess maybe I am a bit overly sensitive about this but nothing pisses me off more then those who drink or do drugs and drive.... you are killing and injuring innocent people out there!!! Now, In my case the Angels were certainly there with us as my children were not seriously injured and I am still alive and not paralysed but him (the man who hit us) not so lucky as we all know what his fate of that night was for him.... I always wish there was some type of closure to the story and the open ends of it all just mess with me still to this day!! Caulk that one up to the OCD as I like and prefer everything to be wrapped up perfectly with all ends tied and ready to put away.... more things in life left for us to question......Was I his suicide mission? Was he wacked out on drugs or alcohol ? Was he talking or texting on his cell phone? Did he drop something and try to pick it up??? What happened ? WHY???

I have NO clue how to get thru to these people that are out on the roads everyday doing these things, they take not only their own life into their own hands but everyone else as well.... very sad and frustrating!!

OK jumping off my soap box now... just need a little vent there
