Like maybe 'distracted' driving, along with possibly high speed?? In addition to obvious tailgating (or at the very least not observing adequate following distance). I wonder if they came around a curve and onto that accident, because it seems that there are at least two traffic lanes. How terrible!
What's really bad about it is that two of the drivers were behind the wheel of schoolbuses. I'm sure many parents will now worry even more about their kiddies.
The first three letters of his suname describes this boob to a tee. And what is so frustrating and infuriating is his attitude that he has done nothing wrong in the slightest. I doubt he will take any responsibity for any lives lost because of his actions.
Now here's what I'd call a BIGhorn instead of a longhorn. He's a sight to see in the little town of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, near where my sister lives. Bet the weight of those suckers forces him to do a lot of grazing instead of holding his head high.
An article, the gist of which I wholeheartedly endorse. I'm sick of self-important snobs telling me what I should like or dislike. This is especially true of "professional" critics.
Critics, at least in the classical music world, have rarely (with few exceptions) influenced public opinion. Many of the musical works popular today were thorougly trashed by critics when they premiered.
Critics often get it wrong -- and they often get it right. It's kind of a crap shoot. 
The author is correct about Boardwalk Empire. It got great reviews. I watched the first few episodes. It was DOA.
I should mention that the critics love the new True Grit. It has a 95 percent "fresh" rating at rottentomatoes, which means that 95 percent of critics gave it a positive review. The only less than enthusiastic review I recall reading is that of Jeff Wells at Hollywood-Elsewhere.com. The King's Speech also has 95 percent positive and there's nothing wrong with that; it's a very well-made movie anchored by a sensational performance from Colin Firth.
However, the film dominating the critics' awards is The Social Network. 
Anyway, the best picture Oscar is voted on by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, not critics, and they have no problem with Westerns. Remember that Dances with Wolves and The Unforgiven both won best picture. So I'd say True Grit still has a chance at Oscar gold.
Critics often get it wrong -- and they often get it right.
Whatever they do, I don't like the opinions of people who do it for a living. Let's face it, the professional opinions of critics are subjective, NOT objective.
Opinions are like noses in that most people have one and why should their opinions count more than the opinions of other people?
