It’s not a race out there. Life is not need for speed. There’s a race track designed for these purposes. Let’s stop using the road as if it’s a race track. Putting our lives and others at risk!
These drivers never learn to take their time when driving. They just see an opened and smooth road and decide to be Brian O’Conner, Dominic Toretto and the rest of the Fast and Furious Crew.
That airport road is blighted like frairs hill road. Are we sure there isn’t a deep rooted issue at play?
driver was probably trying to redesign the car
Driving at 40/50/60 miles per hour can never result in such damage. That person had to be going at a significant speed.
I wish them the best
Why is it so hard to have constant police presence on the roads handing out tickets for speeding etc??? It’s do as you like on the roads… why are people confused?
My question is, did you put it there? Why are we like this in this country? 🤔 Accidents and deaths have been happening long before the road was even fixed. So even if there’s a deeper issue, we still need to take proper precautions when driving… SMH.
It’s simple, they just drive reckless that’s all. The enemy of our souls, fighting and succeeding because of disobedience.
Was the driver intoxicated?
Did he/she suffer a heart attack and mash the accelerator?
