My sister went to school in KY, and my brother went to UT, and my other brother went to ASU (Appalachian State University)...I hated making road trips to see them. Sheesh..it always took 4 hours LONGER than it should have. ;-)
And I won't mention the time we were in Boone, NC and my father took us on a "sightseeing" tour of Grandfather Mountain. Just put it this way: the whole family is lucky to be alive....;-)
Possibly some radar detector company could add electronics to provide audio alerts of imminent collisions. I would buy one.
