We have become obsesses with these phones and cannot separate ourselves from them
not even when we are driving, how very sad.
1. the public - please have some common sense and STOP using your cell phone while driving! I daily see drivers swerving all over the road while on their phone. Also please learn that the horn is used as an alert not just to hail your friends, use it around corners and reply when you hear someone else use the horn in the opposite direction. STOP parking your cars on the road! I am fed up having to drive into oncoming traffic and around blind corners to avoid your car. Landlords, if you're renting a property to people with a car you should have somewhere for them to park it. Isn't this type of thing regulated? Also stop breaking the mirrors when the govt. puts them up, these save lives daily.
2. the police - you are supposed to be regulating all of the above. Kindly earn your paycheck! place tickets on cars parked in the roads, YES by Matchas too- i am quite fed up of this undisciplined area. The road is for driving not parking. Also ticket persons driving and using the cell phone or caught breaking cameras.
3. the Govt - please try to complete road works in a timely manner, enough is enough. Pass some regulation regarding large work vehicles like backhoes being on the road at peak times, especially in the mornings, as this causes speeding and people trying to overtake these lumbering slow vehicles. Put up guardrails and signs, reflectors also, in dangerous areas.
We can all help to save lives on the road, drive safely
