Ok so I forgot to blog yesterday... what else is new??? But I'm here today!! And its Pet Peeve Tuesday!!!
First pet peeve I'd like to start this all off with is speeding through school zones. I cannot stand the way people fly through school zones like they are above every law. It makes me upset that if a child were to have wandered off, 90% of the people I see speeding would never be able to stop fast enough to avoid hitting that child. This is an easy thing to avoid. Just slow down for the block (that's as far as I can remember a school zone lasting). I don't see why everyone has to be in that big of a hurry that a child's safety is longer important. I know I would like to know the children I love are safe from idiot drivers as they walk to school, wait for the bus, or even play outside around the school during recess. I'd also like to know the older kids I love who can drive or have friends that can drive them to school, are safe from people driving like idiots as these kids try to make it to school safely. Its a simple answer to a problem that could end in extremely bad ways. You have to take a defensive driving course if you're caught speeding in a school zone... that course alone is $60. Not to mention the cost of the ticket. I got a ticket for parking once and it alone cost me $145... I can't imagine what a speeding ticket through a school zone cost....
