The other driver had stopped at a stop sign and then continued into the intersection. At 55 mph there just isn’t much you can do. He stated later that he must have been driving with his head up his a**. I simply said that I was hard pressed to disagree with him. All this stuff can be replaced at a cost...lives can’t. Thanks again for the replies and information.
