Drivers all too often take chances on the road that could turn out deadly. They zoom through stop signs without stopping in residential areas. One recently almost came in contact with my bike. Not only is their reckless driving a danger to them, but can be very dangerous for a child skateboarding, riding their small bikes or skating. At the speeds they are going and zipping through stop signs without stopping, if they should strike a child or even a pedestrian, there are going to be serious injuries or even death for the bicyclists and pedestrians they strike.

All of us have a responsibility on the road to obey the rules and make the road safer for everyone. For whatever reason, many drivers seem to believe those rules don't apply to them. That the roads belong to them and others must get out of the way.
