So how is it that we now just accept wrong doings because that is just what people do now-a-days? For instance, every intersection I sit at I watch people run through red lights while turning left. It's like this is entirely acceptable to do with no circumstances what-so-ever. WTF? This act does slow traffic down, it pisses people off (well at least it does me), and only causes chances for more accidents. To me there are plenty of times when you can get away with breaking the law and not negatively effect anyone. I admit to doing this quite often, but I always assess the situation first before making that decision. Example: coming up to intersection and the light turns yellow. I quickly glance in all directions especially behind me, then determine if I go through the intersection when the light is turning red if I will slow anyone down, cause someone to wait for me...etc. Typically in the case where I do run through, by the time the light is green for the perpendicular traveling motorist I am already passed through the intersection and have caused no damage to anyone. But this turning left while the light is red really aches me. Pull some coppers off the highway and put them at some busy intersections to make the state/city some money. Those people on the highway doing 10 over aren't hurting anyone!
Oh yeah, do the majority of cars not come with turn signals anymore? Really, how hard is it to push the stalk down or up before turning? This is such a simple act that we all did at one time when we first started driving, so why are so many people not doing it anymore?
It's the little things in life that matter people. Do what's right and things will work out for the better...I swear, they will.
