H L Stoutt said ; where there is no vision ————. . This will continue because these NDP guys had their agenda and they did what wanted at the expense of ALL of us
Seven is pretty young yes.
Advice : Please teach the children when crossing there it is best to just wait, the stop lights will hold traffic at some point on that lane (that is the best time to cross)
Just today, a vehicle started moving over to my side because the driver was holding his cell phone up in plain sight either texting or looking up a number. Had to blow my horn to get his attention. He continued holding the phone and swerved back into his lane. Whenvwill the madness stop?
Also these young scooter riders constantly running the traffic light.
Please, please, please, get Police Officers out on the roads to enforce the laws and keep the discipline.
