Maybe high as a kite coming back from Colorado ?

Might that have something to do with it? OR are you being overrun by mexicans who are drunk?

[ozzymandus]

What higher speed limits? I thought everything was the (Rep) Governor’s fault. That’s what the papers tell me every day.

Don’t Purple Drank and Drive!

75 mph, that’s sweet! How fast are people going when they have these fatal accidents?

[Dr. Sivana]

What are they hitting in the high speed areas ... stalks of wheat?

Oklahoma has had 75mph for a long time. It really is no big deal.

Duh. Illegal aliens.

Speeding is the #1 cause of accidents. Just because a particular speed limit is legal doesn’t mean it’s safe.

[DCBryan1]

Texting and driving....bad combo

"The overall number of crashes on those roads has stayed steady. "

"it is too early to start drawing any conclusions on the connection between higher speed limits and the increased number of accidents. "

Uh, they just said there was NO INCREASE in # of accidents (assuming crash=accident)

Great Gerbilizm.

Weather absolutely has to be taken into account if these year to year comparisons are going to be made.

[Secret Agent Man]

i’d guess it has something to do with traffic from colorado.

[trebb]

I wonder what the weather conditions were for the accidents.
