I totally see your frustration. I have been driving for twenty years accedent free and just in the past two weeks someone has hit me twice. The first was in a parking lot where the pasenger opend her door HARD into the side of our van putting a nice dent in the drivers side door. Our van is a 2005 uplander so its in new condition so I filed a clame turns out it is $1000 worth of damage
The second one just this week, a driver was stopped at a red light and just as I was traveling through the intersection on my green he came out and hit the side of my van doing $5000 worth of damage
If I hadn't swerved to miss him I would have hit him head on
Cell phones are a big cause of problems at the very least people should be using hands free devices. I've seen people putting on makeup, reading a newspaper and eating. There defiantly needs to be a stronger police presence on the roads as lately there is far less police around than even 5 years ago.
Our city just implemented Red light speed cameras these cameras were only catching people who ran red lights but now they will also nail speeders. We currently have 60 of them in operation throughout the city.
