We need stricter driving laws and stricter drivers education.
Yesterday I witnessed a terrible wreck. I was in the left turn lane at the intersection, and there was a car next to me in the lane that goes straight. Our light turned green and I started off, but out of the corner of my eye I see a red suv speeding like crazy. I quickly slammed on my brakes, and honked. The suv missed me by a little bit, but the guy in the straight lane wasn't so lucky. The suv hit him on the drivers side, but that wasn't the worst part. The suv overcorrected or something, and flipped. It was crazy, the suv lady had children in there. To me this is why we need stricter driving laws, and education. If we improved upon laws and education then maybe this wouldn't happen.

1 ReplyWhat we need is more enforcement. With the shit hole that is the economy my local cities have been cutting traffic cop hours. Since then driving related accidents have gone up. -A father and his daughter were killed by a teen speeding in an SUV. -A woman was killed by a man running a red light in just the next town. -Three weeks ago I was nearly run of the road by a driver so engrossed in talking with his passenger that he didn't notice he was drifting into my lane and nearly hit me. He didn't notice when I blared at him with the horn either. -This week I witness two people having an argument while driving. They were each driving separate cars. I got a $300+ ticket for "holding a passing speed too long." The problem isn't the lack of strict laws. It's enforcement. We do need stricter driver's ed though. And mandatory retesting on both the paper test and driving test every time you renew your license.
