I don't know what else to say about the drivers in this city. How hard is it to understand the word 'STOP'?
Why do people continue to use their cell phones? And what is with the aggressive women drivers out there? I mean some aggression is good or you'd sit there forever trying to get into traffic. But driving 20 over the speed limit in a school zone??? Its not just women, although they are by far the majority. But the age range, sadly, goes from I'd say 20 to 35. The number of people breaking the rules goes up as the age goes down.
What I am talking about?
Last night I drove home in the aftermath of a fairly decent blizzard. I travel a good 6 kms. to work, or approximately a 10 minute ride. In that space of time, I saw three people run a red light, one person on a cell phone, probably 5 that barely slowed down at a stop sign, and two people that actually did stop.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be a police officer and see all this stuff everyday. What's worse is they get to see the aftermath when there is an accident. My late brother, who was a firefighter, had to cut someone out of a car once. The car was on its roof and the person lived, but they had been speeding and were badly injured.
Why don't people learn????
And don't get me started on drunks! ! !
