What is wrong with the general public these days? You can't even get total control of your vehicle and drive without running into a light pole, let alone staying on your own side of the road. Many times I have noticed that many people like to speed through parking lots, down the streets from work and flip people off for no reason whatsoever. Attention please!!! Drivers that are in their early 20's up to present need to watch what they are doing behind the wheel....no talking on your cell phones while driving, no texting and my personal favorite, switching radio stations while looking at the radio dial instead of the road. If you are going to drive, drive with caution and common sense. If you can't drive, then stay off not only the roadways but the sidewalks too. You put many people in danger and no wonder people get hit by wicked drivers.
