Another wrong-way collision day at The Iowa Edict and even I am shaking my head wondering what is going on out there on the interstate highway system. Here at The Edict, today is the day of infamy when wrong-way drivers get their stories posted so we can all learn to drive the interstate highway system in a way to protect ourselves and our loved ones from getting in a head-on crash with a wrong-way interstate driver? I have to say that even I am stymied by the sheer number of wrong-way events over this past week. I’m not sure if it’s the economy that is causing people to drink more or if the weather getting warmer more cars and trucks are out on the roads, but the number of wrong-way events reported in this post has even me shaking my head. This is an unusually high number.

We ask today's question because assuming they don't kill themselves society has to do something proactively to slow down the carnage on the interstate highway system.

Today’s Question: Should wrong-way drivers lose their driver’s license for 10 or more years?

Count the number of wrong-way driver stories and it will absolutely blow your friggin mind. Every week I add the full line up of the week’s wrong-way event on the Lombardi Law Firm website so if you want to see the consistency of head-on collisions or near head-on collisions follow this link. At that link you’ll see how to avoid being a wrong-way driver, how to avoid wrong-way drivers and how to anticipate the places where you’re likely to run into a wrong-way driver situation.

Interesting or scary, you be the judge. Here are this week’s reports from Rhode Island, Texas, Colorado, Iowa, California, Europe, Canada, New Hampshire, Alabama, Kentucky, Washington State, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Australia, Nebraska, Delaware, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Scotland, England and Florida. This isn’t all of them, there are some I just pick up on and others not reported or that get turned around before they crash or get caught. So what you see here isn’t a complete story. The complete story is much worse.  If you want to see YouTube wrong-way collisions follow this link.
