Now this could be the most important thread I have ever posted ,and it just might be the most ignored too ?
I am an extremely safe driver,well compared to 98% of our USA drivers I am anyway .
Never had a speeding ticket,drunken driving,nor one for reckless driving .
And I resent the fact that these same lousy drivers I speak of ,kill not only innocent human lives on our highways ,but also ,those beautiful and lovable animals who get plastered all over our roads .
I don't recall ever running over any animal in my lifetime,and yes ,I know some road kill is either inevitable, or, unavoidable.
I am keenly aware ,or try to be, to be watchful for animals ,especially the poor dumb squirrels ,and the somewhat, more alert deers .
I see those two slaughtered on the road much too frequently to always be excused as unavoidable .
If I had the power ,I would chop off a minimum of 10/15 mph on "all" speed zones ,then, this nation would have 10/20 % less pollution, leaving cleaner air ,save a 100,000 human lives a year[guesswork],and cut the ongoing genocide of precious animals by probably, 20 % .
I've witnessed this scary scene many times....when driving in a heavy populated neighborhood ,cars parked on both sides ,sometimes barely enough room for autos to squeeze past each other ,yet,the speed limit might say 30 mph.,now that could be suicidal ,and has been I am sure,for kids simply doing everyday what youngsters do, "play carefree,and without caution ."
Think about it ,that's all I am asking .
