Stop at Highway

One of the most important rules of the road in
driving is to stop at a cross read before entering a
highway.
You never know when a car is going to be coming
down the road at sixty per.
Hardly a week goes by around here that some acct
dent doesn't happen due to someone forgetting that one
rule.
It's worth remembering.
You might be the next one hit.
