Writer says drivers haven't learned, even after tragedy She says, 'There's a way to fix the warnings on the Bypass; but how do you fix a lack of common sense?" citing a story about narrowly missing - by one second - being a part of a three car crash. Click on headline for complete commentary By Trish Zatkoff (14 Apr 2015) - I just wanted to vent a bit, and I know you like it when people vent. I was driving on the bypass, coming back from Walmart today (Tuesday), with my son . . . I was going around 45 mph. This little black car whipped around me and then in front of me, barely missing the car that was in the passing lane to my left . . . we were within 8 seconds of the main stoplight on the bypass. If I hadn't slowed down, there could have been a three car crash. I pulled up next to him at the light and gave him a 'look'. He looked like he was probably in his early 20s. He looked at me, then quickly looked away. He had a girl with him, about his age. I wanted so badly to jump out of the car and just shake him. With all the tragedy that has happened on that road, how can people be so ignorant? My child is 18 now, but I'm still a mother bear. I can't imagine how I would react if someone making dumb decisions like that were to hurt one of mine. Sure, there's a way to fix the warnings on the bypass, but how do you fix a lack of common sense? Maybe the area does need to be patrolled more, and enforce strict laws on those who don't think of their safety, much less anyone else's safety when they drive. Or maybe it does need to be patrolled more, to protect those foolish drivers before I can get ahold of them! - TRISH ZATKOFF This story was posted on 2015-04-15 14:30:32
