Among other things, traffic laws need to be seriously reviewed and toughened up. Far too many people think they are the King of the Road, and existing laws and rules of the road are not meant for them. I don't think drivers education has been taught in schools for a long time but todays drivers need to see the gory movies of accident victims like I did. Todays drivers think it is their right to have a car and drive the way that the want to. We have a big problem here of people people buying cars, and then not paying the taxes and license fees on them, and drive around with flimsy temporary tags that are almost always many months expired. Lots of show room drag racing these days also. It's possible to buy a really fast, hot car right from the show room floor, and then pretend they are in the next "Fast and Furious" movie! Lots of tears here recently over three teen age kids, might not have been old enough for a license, rat racing around in a hot carat 6AM, lost control and ran into a house. Killed all three, and we are supposed to feel sorry for the family and put money into a fund for their funeral. Call me an asshole, but not me! Another similar accident where the car got airborne and was going fast enough that it got high enough to hit the roof line of the house they hit. Killed those occupants als0 , which were very young teens. Dangerously excessive speeds, weaving in and out in traffic like they are i a big hurry to get to their funeral. I am feeling the same way and you, people are just beyond stupid!! Most don't deserve the privilege's of driving. I think the laws should have some real teeth, and if you get ONE STRIKE against you, you are OUT!! No excuses. Some of the excuses people put down on facebook are just hilarious, but the hilarity of it stops if someone gets killed and that is usually just some innocent citizen minding his own business. Forget worrying about gun laws and violence, far more people are getting killed by the idiots we have to drive on the same streets with. Limit who can buy these street legal hotrods with 800 horsepower unless they have insurance in place and proof of financial responsibility in case they kill some one!. I like racing and fast cars, but there is a time and a place for everything, not the neighborhood streets at midnight to three in the morning!
