--drinking, text-messaging, phoning-- running thru stop signs and redlights are nothing new; they're only mimicking the bad driving habits of their parents and other adults they see around them. Our traffic police are doing the best they can: problem is there aren't enough of them(only two!). The politicians are mostly impotent it seems to do anything about it: insuring more and more deaths/injuries. In their defense tho, most voters want others to follow traffic laws, but don't want to have to do so themselves! Can't just fault the kids until adults finally begin acting responsibly; in a state where watching speeding cars crash is the major sport(NASCAR) things aren't likely to improve anytime soon! :mad:
