What people need to do, other that wearing seat belts, is pay attenetion to DRIVING; no texting, fooling with the radio, etc.....

"the Tennessee High Patrol says she rolled through a stop sign and turned in front of a dump truck." So this death, though tragic, had nothing to do with speed limits. At all. Unless the THP is ready to do tests and tell us that the dump truck with the right away wouldn't have crushed the jeep that turned in front of him if only he'd been going 5 or 10 miles slower. Otherwise, this story is a conflation of two safety issues.

I don't see ANYWHERE on Collierville-Arlington where Norris has had the sides of the road widened and the only place where I've seen it widened on Macon is where they are doing work on 385.

Norris makes a valid point. Once 385 is complete there will be little car or truck traffic through there. In the meantime if you meet one of the dumptrucks southbound in that tight curve be prepared to get yourself some shoulder.
