Yes, it certainly is, I agree. Lack of workers ? Lack of supply chain ? Who knows, but..... not worth dying for. Unfortunately, as someone mentioned, the people who NEED to read this, the ones who just refuse to chance their driving to fit the conditions, will never read this, or not even realize it is THEM !

Wow, I found it interesting that Opel was included . I bought a Buick Regal Tour X Essence which is rare model Buick (only made for 3 years). Turns out, it’s made in Germany by Opel. In addition, my friends Buick Cascada convertible was made in Poland.

It is well known, apparently, that in certain geographic locations, that BMW’s do not come installed with directional indicators either. 😎

I think the road construction exacerbates the situation. There's just no easy way to get around the congestion and construction legitimately.
That's a non-sequitur. If there was an easy way to get around the congestion, then everyone would do it - and cause congestion in that other place instead. Consider someone going slowly on the highway - everyone moves to the other lane. And then THAT lane gets congested, and eventually the lane you just left ends up being the faster lane.

The reason that spot always has the reflector poles broken is because people choose not to pay attention. Or, they are incapable of paying attention.

I park my golf cart at Petco and walk down to Brooklyn Bagels, or Kohl's, or Ulta, at least once a month. I've never witnessed anyone drive over the curb in the middle of the road but I do see people zooming toward and away from the light on 441 there.

I've also had a few near-misses when parking on the side of Petco, because people come barreling down the driveway from Rolling Acres without even considering that someone MIGHT be entering or exiting before they turned the corner.

Thankfully I have ADD. I can't ignore anything, and see everything. I'm hyper-attentive. It can be incredibly distracting but it's kept me alive for 62 years.

Now it has me thinking, could this be the very same German convertible sports car that pulled into 466 Publix a couple months ago around 6 p.m., at a VERY HIGH rate of speed, several of us coming out of Publix JUMPED as it squealed by, the guy "literally flew" into the disabled spot in front of the liquor store, did not bother to open the door, but actually JUMPED out of the driver's seat over the side of the CAR ! Looked at least 55, so must be in good shape, and RAN into the liquor store maybe "Fritz" needs his alcohol as much as his caffeine ????
WHY HASN'T someone gotten the license plate and reported it to the police?
