Why do drivers take the opportunity to pollute the environment with their gas guzzlers and with their modified noise makers? I am referring to the ones driving up and down my road. I could profile certain drivers and point out to my kinds as being the primary culprit of these recently activities.
I think they have too much pride in upgrading their cars. And the fact that the weather has been getting warmer should not allow these high school mentalities to compromise the safety of our public roads. There has been more pedestrians and bicyclist enjoying the warm evening outdoors too.
Teenage drivers should slow down and be more careful since the statistics for accidents are mostly in this demographic. Elders should also learn to speed up and take annual tests to make sure they are not endangering our streets. Other drivers with problems should stay home.
I expect more drivers to be responsible in the upcoming summer season and take driving more leisurely; enjoy the scenery; and breathe the fresh air instead of speeding down the road as if they have to use the restroom to perform the ‘number two’. Speeding should be done in an emergency and by emergency vehicles only.
There is absolutely no reason to waste gas by speeding in modified cars either. If we citizens were to be more responsible, we could stop using gas and oil and switch to ethanol, for example. The country of Brazil is a good example where ethanol is used for vehicles.
Citizens could further be responsible by making sure the neighborhoods are kept clean and by keeping watch on each other’s property. I could make the issue of safety and security the main reasons for placing cameras along my road.
For example, a mayor of my city commended with a certificate to a person, who is close and dear to me and who helped to implement the stop signs in our neighborhood. Any one person could make improvements when the cause is justified.
I hate people being profiled in this manner but people coming into this country need to learn to stop taking too much advantage of the opportunities to have expensive houses, well cooked meals and, of course, those fast cars, especially the very pretty ones that really should belong in the museum.
Drivers in the heat of anger, passion or pride should take extra steps to reduce their energy level a bit to avoid injuring or hurting people on the road. The warm summer days should be more enjoyable and not more accident prone.
Once again, I encourage my fellow fast drivers to take it easy on the lead foot; turn off the mind numbing programs and hypnotic music from the airwaves of their radios; and turn up the air conditioners to cool off anything negative that should be left behind.
