People are advised to buy/and or paint their cars in bright colors such as yellow and red; and yet we also have our share of fatal accidents;there were some extremely tragic cases where a whole family got killed.<br />Roads have been expanded but the number of vehicles keeps growing, so the solution may lie in encouraging public transport. As a first step, prices for buses and train travel have recently been reduced.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-38799285374631554652016-02-07T19:12:09.612-05:002016-02-07T19:12:09.612-05:00People aren't paying attention.

And i think your first comment is clever. Red vehicles are the answer to being unnoticed.Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-48167356050083387362016-02-07T15:27:49.931-05:002016-02-07T15:27:49.931-05:00I've seen way too many drivers pass through to...I've seen way too many drivers pass through too many red lights.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-48796309135780380262016-02-07T15:24:23.885-05:002016-02-07T15:24:23.885-05:00Yikes!!!

Straight ahead (but across a busy street) is the LAKE. Apparently people kept going straight ahead through the stop sign and directly into the lake, so they put the lights on the sign and little poles along the lake so the car would run into those. I don't get it, but I guess maybe a little alcohol makes someone do crazy things?Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-33334333654337257132016-02-07T12:04:02.650-05:002016-02-07T12:04:02.650-05:00I think all drivers have to be aware of every othe...I think all drivers have to be aware of every other driver. Down here, one vehicle had a dash cam, and recorded an Asian driver crossing the centre line and hitting him. No excuse for not knowing the country road rules!!This happens so often here on the bigger main roads, often resulting in at least one death per incident.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-28163907858779207552016-02-07T10:31:24.759-05:002016-02-07T10:31:24.759-05:00Oh yes, it's an asphalt jungle out there.

I now only drive red vehicles.<br />Out To Pasturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949493910996476623noreply@blogger.com
