Editor:
I can’t get over the stupidity of some drivers.
Last month, during one of the worst windstorms in recent history, cars were flying by on Crescent Road at double to triple the posted limit despite the strong wind and heavy rain.
Do those stupid drivers really think they could swerve or stop in time when – not if – a heavy branch or a whole tree fell on the road ahead of them?
According to the news, trees were falling like bowling pins all over Metro Vancouver.
And how much more damage – to the vehicle and to the people inside – would be done at such a high speed, as compared to the speed limit or less?
Remember, the speed limit is set for ideal traffic, road, and weather conditions.
If any of those conditions is less than ideal, you could get a ticket for driving at the limit.
