   Let's assume a "good driver" going fast: An idiot walks into his path   
   misjudging the distance and he's history. The good driver has a death on his   
   record.   
      
   We have around here three lanes squeezed into two and the result is anyone   
   opening the cars' doors on either side of the road is gambling his life. The   
   speed in that area should be 20 mph but it's common to see drivers going 40   
   mph or more. We should not    
   let the good driver make all kinds of judgement.    
      
   There are all kinds of idiots out there, but the engineers are the main issue.   
   Why? Because they don't care. You see accidents happening in the same area and   
   they don't correct anything. Again, they don't care.
