A.M. Madness

Retired, I don't get on the road very often during any rush hour. The 2
laners from the small towns heading to the city to work are definitely
hazardous. Coffee in one hand, cell to ear, 70+ in 55 zone, vehicles
entering from side roads in front of fast traffic, tail-gating, passing on
double yellow, etc. One road in particular has had 3 fatals (2 females and 1
male teen) and a number of accidents w/o fatal. One of the female fatals was
simply running off the road into a culvert. Witnesses told cops she was on
cell and drinking from a container. A neighbor was rear-ended by a lady in
July. She apologized and told Ray that she was in a hurry. No injuries. I
was heading for the local school about a month ago when a DAB passed me and
she must have been doing 80+ as I was over 60 and she flew by. Only about 2
minutes from school and when I turned the corner she was dropping off a
youngster of about 7 or 8. Last week she ran her van off into a ditch on the
same road. Not fatal although the local weekly says the daughter was
injured. No details. All of these accidents have occurred before 8:00 A.M.
Maybe folks should get out of bed about 15 minutes earlier to go to work.

The answer is DL suspensions and jail time for our highway terrorists.
Fork the fine system. Stop the criminal coddling and we'll stop the
highway murders.

Who's gonna pay your welfare checks when everyone's in jail? Oh yeah,
that's right, we'll just print 'em up!

ROTFLMAO.
