There should be no such thing as the wrong place at the wrong time

Take your time & pay attention
Hopefully,people will just take their time and pay attention!!!! This intersection is a busy one, however, if people would just take their time and not be in such a hurry everyone can get home safely.
I pray that the people involved have a speedy recovery and everyone can learn from this accident.

Interesting case in point...
Since drivers Ed was taken out of Maryland public schools and outsourced to private teaching schools... I wonder what the statstics are now for accidents in our area.. Are these acidents being caused by drivers not getting a well rounded education for driving by these private driving schools? Are they being taught correctly , even though there maybe guidlines that the state imposses on these schools..

I wonder how many people know these simple rules ( LAWS) of the road :
v. Right turn on red after complete stop.
v. Vehicle must come to complete stop
at stop signs .
v.At a four way stop - driver to the left
has right of way.
v. No cell phone use while driving.
v. If its raining and wipers are in use
headlights must be turned on.
v. No passing on the right shoulder
v. a various seatbelt laws regarding children - not being unrestrained
v. Tailgating is reckless driving. And is
a punishable violation.
V Headlights must be dimmed (off hibeam)
when overtaking or within site of other
motorists( be it following or passing) once in site of the other vehicle.

Reply to EYEHEARYOU: ...67% right.
At a four way stop - driver to the RIGHT has the right-of-way.
Cell phones can be used...if using with a 'hands-free' device.
Article 21, section 304: The following applies. A driver may pass on the right legally WITHOUT crossing the white line if the driver can do so safely and if there is enough pavement to allow for two or more lanes of traffic. In addition a driver may cross the white line and pass on the right to avoid a vehicle that is turning left.

Reply to EYEHEARYOU: four way stop?
I always thought the driver on the right had the right away.

but I'm sure he wants to thank you for summing up most of the important driving points he forgot decades ago.

I think you're wrong about the last one. In fact I know of people in Golden Beach that have been ticketed for passing on the right because someone was making a left turn. The rule is it is illegal to pass on the right if you have to "leave the roadway" including when there is a shoulder with a solid white line.
