Well that explains it. I've had to travel to Kentucky for several business
trips. Every time I'm in Kentucky, I can't drive more than five miles
without seeing a major car accident. I define major car accident as:
- Involving more than two vehicles (all with KY plates)
- Involving major damage to at least one of the three or more vehicles and
- Stopping traffic on both sides of the road, regardless of whether the
collision happened ON a road or not

Disclaimer: the above only applies during regular daylight hours. Late at
night when all the locals are drunk, they somehow manage not to crash into
each other. ???

I've lived in the Northeast U.S. for many years, where we supposedly have
the worst drivers in the world. However, if driving ability is measured in
crashes per mile driven, we are kicking the crap out of the Kentucky
drivers, as far as safety goes. -Dave
