I hate the sound of cars crashing into each other.
The next road over has become the north-south rat run to avoid traffic through town and with a thirty mile per hour speed limit people still drive over fifty miles per hour as they zip past town. BUT, there are intersections every block, some with a limited view of the cross street and traveling so fast one can not stop if someone does not see a car traveling almost double the speed limit.
It happens too often. Everyone is all about ME! ME! ME FIRST! To Hell with everyone else's concerns. Me First!
Without sounding too Republican, maybe they should stiffen the penalties for driving too fast and hurting someone.
There was a mom and her four year old son killed a few blocks down the road a few days ago partly because a big SUV was going very fast on a city street.
I know, I drive a huge SUV as well, but I do not drive like an fucking idiot - never have since I was about twenty two or three. I drive like a chauffeur carrying four apiaries (giant nests of bees that do not want to be disturbed) in the back seat with a boiling cup of coffee between my legs.
If I can learn to take it easy on the streets, why can others not?
