There ought be more separating the lanes of the highway than a painted line.

Or quit slipping into autonomous vehicles and require that people drive the car.

Once again lives taken to soon by wreck less, careless PEOPLE in possession and control of a motor vehicle. Condolences and prayers to the family. Maybe it is time to have background checks and restrictions on the PEOPLE who purchases vehicles and the gasoline to operate them.

Maybe just stop giving out drivers licenses like candy. Having a license used to be a privilege now it is seen as a right.

“Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro, I ran over my neighbor”, The Dead Milkmen. The people who buy these cars do not intend to drive safely or legally. My Honda Civic can go plenty fast enough to get me a speeding ticket.

Even Civics can be driven recklessly.

Interesting that you equate how fast your car can go with whether you “plan” on driving safely. Quick reality check, far more people PLAN on driving safely than are actually ABLE to drive safely because they have no idea how to handle their car or they are driving at the legal limit and yet: don’t move to the left, don’t signal, aren’t aware of situations going on around them, don’t make eye contact with other drivers, etc.. etc.. etc..

I hear young guys near my house doing donuts and racing every single night. Who pays for these Camaros,Mustangs, Chargers, and how come theyre so loud all of the sudden? Who buys the tires, Mommy and Daddy? And how much is insurance for a 19 year old to have a new Camaro? $1000/month +?
