Things have really picked up here on the Outer Banks. The tourists have arrived in droves and the traffic is, for lack of a better word … bad. This past week my son was involved in his first auto accident. He was rear ended by a local. You see it can take a month or so for us who live on the Outer Banks year round to get use to the heavy traffic. We are accustomed to be-bopin along at the “speed limit” and making right on red turns this all changes when summer hits. Once the “visitor's” get here you are lucky if you can get to 50mph on the bypass and right on red turns are very dangerous. The folks at “Ron and Phils body shop” told me that work for them really backs up until around July 4^th then it levels back out. I think the point here is that when summer hits ya gotta slow down and take a little more time to get where you are going also remember if your late your late so don’t get your self hurt over it. Drive safe and stay off my bumper.
