Ah bravo to for thinking/acting as you do and thank you for your service . It is a shame that when people get behind the wheel a lot of them only think about themselves no matter the situation. A big chunk of them probably should not have a drivers license to begin with and the attitude only makes it worse. Until something tragic happens those folks will continue to put others in harms way. I would say self driving cars would take care of that, but not really sure that tech will be flawless while most of us are still around.As a former active duty USAF member for 10 years, I’ve lived/driven on a lot of AF bases.
Speed limit through base housing was 15mph, main roads usually 25 mph. Security Police and base rules were not forgiving if you went through over... you didn’t get a fine instead you got reported to your first sgt and commander.
Military lifestyle also taught me to be considerate and conscientious, think of others before your self. (Service before self) and adhering to and enforcing standards. Adhere to rules and regulations and understand why they are in place and enforced.
I now live in a pretty nice master planned
housing community and I duly inform the ignorant when they come down my culdesac doing 40 mph in a 15 mph zone that they need to slow down.
My dash cams and house security cams pick up theirs shenanigans all the time.
The speeders are much a like in character and traits, their houses seem in disarray and there always seems to be chaos emitting from their house.
For those people, they seem oblivious to their surroundings and how they affect the lives of others. One such person almost t-boned me yesterday as I was pulling my GT/CS out of the driveway. Luckily I was driving slow anticipating the likes of this type.
I live on a dead end and they’re in the second to last house, yet 40 mph to them is acceptable. Child wasn’t in child seat and they existed the car yelling and actually left the car running by accident. Normal for this lot.
I spoke to them kindly and asked them to slow down. Three houses prior there is a family with two twin autistic little girls who often run into the street with out looking, along with a lot of other little kids who like to use their scooters in the streets.
I knew someone who hit a child once, it destroyed their life and they never drove again.
For those people I say, get your act together man, grow up, clean up the chaos in your life and stop putting me, my family,
lives of others and my property in danger.
