Today's driving world is dangerous!
If you are a driver who believes in obeying the state's laws, you are putting yourself in danger of an accident or someone attacking you with road rage!
For years now I have questioned why local county and state police are never out on Route 12 in Fox Lake area running radar, or controlling traffic at intersections like Route 12 and Big Hollow, and also at State Park and Route 12, or State Park and Grass Lake Road?
An incident at State Park and Route 12 on Oct. 7 is a good reason for more police action. Why is that semi laying on its side and an SUV heavily damaged? Plus, I think they have had to replace at least six traffic signals at that intersection just this year alone! I cannot remember how many smashed cars and semis on their side I have seen at Route 12 and Big Hollow this year alone!
Now for my biggest concern, our schoolchildren! Why do people no longer think they have to do the 20 MPH in school zones? Why are the police not out there during recess running radar and ticketing these people who endanger our children? Does it take too much time away from what police work? I have had cars and trucks blowing their horns at me and even passing in turn lanes and the double yellow line area near schools on Grass Lake Road! The kids were out playing, that is clearly the 20 MPH time area for driving 20 MPH in school zones!
Are children's lives not important anymore? Do our police and villages and county no longer care about safety, especially our children?
