So many accidents could be avoided if people had more responsibility, like not drunk-driving. Still don't know the details of his accident, but probably that kid didn't pay much attention to where he was going. Another big cause.
Fortunately (unless the change would be to better), I never experienced big changes like moving. I will have one in September, though. Going to highschool, and instead of going to a kinda crappy one were somehow everyone got the "going there next year" fever, I'll be going to a better one, closer to home. The bad part his, because of the fever, probably I'll only know one, two, max three persons there. If not 0. Darn, it's going to be boring. Kinda what you already mentioned, after going to Tennessee.
