Reply to comment by juwanna-blomie in 2 wild car accidents within a week in the same stretch… by juwanna-blomie

Lots of awful road design here. Zero enforcement of traffic law. Emboldened smooth brained drivers

A cocktail for fuckery.

I have, with my own two eyes, seen a car run a blatant, solid red through an intersection, there were no other cars just me and this person, with a cop across the way, saw the cop speed up, follow the car and then just let them get on the highway and carry on with their day.

Meanwhile, one day pulling out of my parking space in a 25mph residential street, I “cut off” a cruiser going ever so slowly, and they stopped me and grilled me about it.

Seems like they only care if it personally adds to or takes from their day.

At Horsepen and Monument the other day, a car in front of me made a left turn on red a solid two seconds after the light changed. Like we got to the front of the left turn lane when it turned, they paused for 2 seconds, then went anyway as the cars coming straight who now had green almost hit them. It wasn't even close.

Insane. Yea I’m from Miami, so lots of accidents, lots of crazy drivers, generally higher speed limits. But you see FAR less of that going down in such popular areas, let alone areas that are KNOWN to be monitored heavily by police. People here drive this way because they KNOW they can get away with it 9/10 times.
