And what on earth would motivate anyone to try to perpetrate yet ANOTHER big foot hoax? Only the far out fringes believe in this stuff anyway. Let's pray for this poor soul's family.

But to do so you must enroll in a State-approved traffic education program. Once you enroll, you will be issued a traffic education learner's license or permit that will allow you to operate a car only while under the supervision of an instructor. This permit expires when your driving classes end. Then you may get a learner’s license from a driving exam station just like teens 16 and older are permitted to do without taking driver′s ed.

The sad part about this to me is that due to one man's irresponsibility (standing in the road while wearing a camouflaged ghillie suit that is used by professional snipers to conceal themselves), not only did he lose his life, but now two young women are going to have to live with his death for the rest of their lives as well.

Yes, they will. Again, this is just so sad and it was SO unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (CNN) -- A man trying to create a Bigfoot hoax on a highway died after being hit by two cars, officials in Montana said. http://www.cnn.com/2...dent/index.html 1. Stupid can be deadly. 2. Put this guy in for a Darwin Award -- he'll win hands down for the entire year. 3. This man's stupidity is going to affect those drivers for the rest of their lives, and it wasn't thier fault he was in the road at night in camaflage. His bad choices will definitely affect others. 4. I'm still having a bit of trouble believe there was someone that stupid walking the planet.

Think about it, he’s in dark clothing that blends in with the background late at night and on a dark unlit 2 lane highway. I’m very sure he looked like a bush or shrub at first glance. How well do you think any driver would have noticed that bush was really a person in the dark? His timing of running out in front of the 15 year old, very likely left her no time to react. You have no idea how fast a person can dart out in front of you with no warning at all that their about to do it. The sole blame should be put squarely on the man who ran out in front of her. Had this of happened during daylight hours, the two teens chances of avoiding him might have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really sad and very very stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
