Editor,
Let me just say that I am truly offended at the crass behavior of cars and other motorized vehicles. Do they even realize how insanely dangerous they are? These idiots careen around corners, their beady eyes fixed on their iPhones or the innocent old ladies slowly maneuvering the crosswalk. Let me just say that I have had several near-death experiences from these crazed gas-guzzlers, and if they would only follow the law, we would not have such an issue.
Everyone else should have the right of way to those lunatics in WMDs. Where I’m just a squishy piece of flesh, these cars are tanks of death, destruction and dismemberment, and if these drivers can’t control their car, they shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all.
I believe these drivers are what’s wrong with this nation. They drive and speed through school zones with an air of entitlement.
The road belongs to them, and they are the only ones who seemingly exist in their field of view — everyone else is but obstacles.
Just the other day, while I was walking through campus, a scooter zipped past me with no regard for puppy dogs, children or toes.
The driver simply looked dead ahead, hunched, with a vapid and stupid expression on their face. Be warned, ye drivers: Your behavior will come back to bite you, whether through tickets, accidents, severe injury or death.
