Hello All,
I have found this article very thought provoking to say the least. Chinagringo has some very good points in his math, and I also agree that as Neil asks, isn’t "a 10% risk on a drive is simply unacceptable"? You bet it is, no question about it. However one must also realize there are inherent risks in all driving on any roads NOB or SOB. Come up here to the RGV and I will tell you while it might not be a guy or a few guys with automatic weapons, two or three guys in a ¾ ton pickup weaving in and out of traffic at 80- to 90 MPH is, or can be just as deadly. This is not an isolated incident. It is a constant in the RGV especially on 83 has to be one of the most dangerous highways NOB. By the way this is not only on HWY 83, but on the side roads as well. The drivers here are frankly NUTS! I am absolutely not a slow driver. I am many times pushing the limit by 10 MPH or so, but I pale in comparison to these crazy drivers who (at high speeds) pass on the right at high speed and from both right and left cutting right in front of you.
Nightly here (every single night of the week) on any of three different TV channels one can hear the four, five, six and more incidents of confiscated drugs, guns including fully auto weapons, hand grenades, bullet proof vests, night vision goggles and a great amount of ammo not to mention the great quantities of cash being smuggled and caught at the border (bound). The roads here are just as dangerous as SOB, only thing missing is decapitation and skinning. So far this week (two days old) one person shot in his vehicle and the vehicle burned and another hit from behind, driver of the rear car getting out walking to the car in front and popping off a few rounds critically injuring the driver. Drugs in the car the driver was shot in. At least 10 to 12 seizures of drugs in those two days; drugs of all kinds by the cargo ship loads are being confiscated here by the various police agencies, border patrol and ICE agents and it is really beginning to p – off the cartels. Action here is definitely climbing. . Folks, face it . . . . it’s all over the place and dead is dead. So take the least risky route for your own mind and pray you chose the right one. If it’s your time, then it’s your time. It’s all a crap shoot and all about a little black bean!
