• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spyder rearended & burned

OK so I called the hospital. They are both in ICU. I talked to the nurse who would not give much info (I am not family) but she said they are stable and will be in ICU a little longer for observation. She said that Family has already visited so if we wanted more info to contact family. When they are out of ICU we can call them in the room and let them know we are thinking of them.

Just what I could find out for you all.

Best wishes to both for a speedy recovery! I live in a very rural area where wild life accidents are very common; the threat from that, pales into insignificants compared to the danger in my area from distracted drivers.
 
Bob,
Thanks for the update! :thumbup: If the trip to ICU is pretty much just for observation; that's about the best that could be hoped for.. :yes:
More prayers for a complete and rapid recovery! :thumbup: :pray:

Can you say "TEXTING"?

My bet is you are right. Around here when a rear ender happens, police check the persons cell number to see if any text was sent at the time of the accident and if so, they are charged. Cell records can show if this was a texting related accident. It is illegal here in Ca to text and drive but every day I see young people doing it all the time! I am a tech nut too and I do text a bit but never when driving! It's just stupid and there is NO REASON that some text message cant wait until you have the time!

Bob
 
I will add my prayers and best wishes/hope for times to come. There is not a lot anybody can do if they are about to get hit in the rear.

Hey Guys,

Are they out of ICU now?
When I called only the nurse would talk to me since I am not family but I did ask her to pass on that all the Spyderlover's are giving well wishes.

:agree:

While we don't yet know for sure on this case, it is very likely. IMO texting while driving is posing a much greater danger than drinking due to the wider group that will potentially do it. I know for myself personally, my recent close calls have all been due to distracted drivers who were texting. I almost got hit head on the other day by a texting driver. I saw him coming halfway into my lane from a long way off. I got as far off the road as I could and he looked up and swerved back to his lane at the last minute. Dangerous stuff.

Regardless of the reason, prayers go the Tallmans. :pray:

For what it's worth, NC SHP will be concentrating on inattentive drivers this weekend.
 
My prayers go out to to Steve and Carla :pray::pray::pray:

Too many of these accidents being posted :lecturef_smilie: I also see many drivers texting. Hard not to, they drive slow and jerking back and forth in their lane.

I talked to a guys today at lunch. It was his first day back to work after 6 months after being rear ended by a texting 20 year old girl with minimum insurance. He was in an Expedition and still got busted up very bad. I hate to think what could happen on a bike of any kind.
