Web poll Should the City of Delphi allow the medical facility to build at the intersection of Summit and PrinceWilliam Rd. Yes, any development should be encouraged. No, they should build someplace else in town. LastWeeks results What do you think of speed limits? 20% Should drive at or below for everyone's safety 41% More of a guideline - up to 5 mph over is okay 29% I'm careful enough to go 5 to 10 mph over 10% They're old-school rules - get out of my way! Total responses: 100 Reader's comments: I have lived in rural and urban areas; some where there were only occasional county road vehicles and some where there were lots of rush hour traffic. Without exception, itwas the peoplewho thought they could safely drive faster than the speed limit that led to accidents and injuries. Itwasn't just the speed, but their attitude about driving in general. They took chances passing; they pass anyone going slower than themselves; cut people off by returning to a lanemuch too close in front of someone they passed; they drive diagonally across laneswithout looking to see if anyone is in those lanes; they tailgate slower drivers; they pass on the right side, or even used the bermor exit lanes to pass traffic; and they generally disregard common sense. In a few instances, I have even been nearly forced off the road by people passing me who decided that their car should be in the exact same space as mine. In the end, either their vehicles either wreck, or they clip other vehicles causing the unsuspecting drivers who were driving safely to have an accident. These people are thinking only of themselves and not what they may do to others around them. People who answered C or D on your poll are dangerous and won't admit it. Kris Brower A Hoosier in Texas |
