It is truly sad that the paralympic athletes did not get a chance to truly celebrate the closing of the Olympics. Something has to be done about those horrible Greek drivers and/or the highway/traffic laws as I don't think that Greeks in Greece take them seriously and there are way too many fatal traffic accidents in Greece as a result. Can you guys just drive more carefully? What is it, a Greek male thing? Think of the poor children who lose their lives or lose a parent because some guy is just too damn stupid to drive properly. I remember the accident with the school bus at Tempe a while ago and how dumb that was. It really makes me sad because as a legal secretary who does a lot of insurance defence motor vehicle accident cases, I see the end results of carelessness, drunkeness or plain stupidity upon the part of drivers. I myself don't drive as a result and I can sympathize with the paralympic athletes as the majority are accident victims themselves. How sad that we could not have unmarred ceremonies - something bad had to happen to marr the beginning of the Games and now the ending (the Kenteris/Thanou scandal in the beginning and now the prime bad example of how horrible Greek drivers can be when they don't pay attention to the road).
