Not blaming the cops...
I dont mean to sound like I'm blaming the cops!--its the drivers,there are SO many doing it,NO amount of cops could catch them all!!--there are a limited number of police in my small town for such a large amount of traffic,and shoplifters at Wal-Mart,and other crimes keep them busy and the few times they have any radar speed traps its just to scare a few folks into slowing down some-So they just kind of gave up trying until the past few weeks.-
-Its become the norm here to drive badly and rudely,and get away with it--its gotten out of hand again..now they will have their hands full trying to curb the poor driving habits everyone has become used too..
The main problem is on the highway Wal-Mart is on--its supposed to be patrolled by state police,so our town cops dont really get involved there(the worst traffic spot in town too)but they are stretched thin too-- if their presence was seen for a few days in certain areas,I'm sure things would improve some--to their credit,recently a government grant has allowed them to start more "road rage" patrols--
And I hope they write lots of tickets to the ones who push me down the road 15+over the limit,and still try to pass in dangerous curves,etc,while yapping on the cell phones--I'd call them in if I had a cell phone after pulling off the road into a parking lot--but they would not catch them 90% of the time,takes too long to get a cruiser near them--by then they are in another town 5 minites later...and its their problem....
All I know is I feel like never leaving the yard anymore unless absolutely nessasary!--cant even go a few miles without meeting some jerk who is hellbent on harassing you while driving...it sucks.like high gas prices arent bad enough...I used to love driving,now its an ulcer growing experience...I can imagine the cops are frustrated a great deal too,not being able to do more about it--its all the fault of the idiots who think the road belongs only to them,and can drive any dam way they please,without any consequenses...and the hell with the "other guy"...
