SUVs Collide in Front of Lowe's on Sherwood Way

San Angelo Driving Tip #163: "Avoid Left Turns" While forethought is no longer prevalent in drivers’ thinking, it is a valuable tool to harness while navigating through life's challenges. In this example, one should extrapolate the notion that left turns - while not always avoidable - should be circumvented as they generally cause more stress to the driver, require a higher sense of visual acuity, timelier hand/eye coordination and a greater degree of situational awareness - again, not a particularly strong trait among most drivers in San Angelo. This is particularly true when attempting to turn left onto an extremely well-travelled, divided 6-lane thoroughfare bustling with vehicular activity. It is reasonable to deduce that not all left turns can be avoided, yet it is also reasonable to deduce that planning and situational awareness can provide alternate routes which offer safer passage. At first glance, alternate routes may appear more frustrating in terms of distance, time, and general driving behaviors, but this small risk factor is nullified when compared to the risks of turning left onto busy streets. On the other hand, Darwinism is alive and well. One could certainly make the argument that left turns, while a right of every American citizen, should not only continue to be an option, but encouraged, so as to attrite the number of drivers on the road, thereby making left turns more satiable (in an offhand kind of way). In any case, I hope the occupants of both vehicles fare well. I wonder if the ambulance took any left turns…
