Driving to lunch across town yesterday, I was passed by cars zooming by me and cutting me off on Morse and BeunaVista, a car pulling out in front of me on a roundabout, ignoring the yield sign. I was doing the speed limit. I had a cart pull out in front of me going through the gate.
In my whole life I haven't seen so many drivers ignore signs for stopping or yielding as I see here.
No laws need to be changed or put into place. Drivers just need to follow the ones already written.  |
Guess it wasn't the best day on the roads for either of us, Gracie. If the guy in front of us could just decide on a lane, we could have gotten by him!
I'm beginning to think that many of the drivers around here, residents and non-residents, have reading difficulties. HOW HARD IS IT TO READ A SIGN??? And a rather large sign at that!
You're right, the laws are there, now if some of the drivers would remember them and abide by them, it would be good for all.
After seeing that cart/cart accident about a week and a bit ago, the realization of just how vunerable one is in a cart hit home. You can fall out, the cart can flip, you can be thrown and hit your head on the curb, pavement, cart, getting out of a flipped cart isn't easy assuming you've not broken any particular body part...and heaven forbid, a grandchild is in the cart with you.
There's lots of cars, lots of carts and driving, whether car or cart isn't a right, it's a privilege.
