Vancouver Traffic and Speed
Somebody please clear this up for me. Vancouver road conditions are very wet and there is a heavy rain. Puddles and mist splashing everywhere. I drive cautious during these times but a lot of people do not. In fact people act invincible. Why is that? Is is because people are driving tanks?
Understand one thing. If you crash, you might die. In fact, some or all of your passengers may die. Worse, you may mame or kill somebody else. Is driving with the pedal to the metal that important? People essentially throw caution to the wind. Pehaps I’m bitter because I can’t drive in the HOV and keep my family safe. People act as if this is the fast lane. It isn’t. It’s the SAFE lane, or it is supposed to be.
Vancouver traffic isn’t the issue. The issue is people waking up to the reality of what they are doing. You are driving a vehicle. It can crash. You can kill or be killed. I just suggest that you park your car on the side of the highway, get out, and stand on the side of the highway. Watch the cars passing you. Intimidated? Seems like cars move faster when you take a moment and see them when you are standing still. Now put in your minds eye, one of those vehicles having to stop suddenly. How far down the road do you think that would take them? Yeah, that probably is you driving that fast down the road without considering the remote possiblitity that something unplanned might occur on the road ahead of you. Go ahead, be another statistic but please don’t take out me or my family in the process. Thanks for you consideration although I’m talking to the wind.
