Drivers today

A slight diversion from recovery - my observation of drivers these days. Most of them are rushing to god alone knows where. There is no regard to law of the roads - overtaking at double lines, running red lights, not giving way to other drivers who signal to get in line. It is as though they do not see at all. Instead they edge even closer to the car in front like a maniac.

This morning at a traffic light, I saw a black Audi A6 W__268 beside my car with a boy in the front passenger seat without his seatbelt on. The driver, presumably his father is talking on his mobile phone, also without his seatbelt on. Nice car, but no regard for safety. And when the lights went green, ZOOM... off the Audi went, man still on the phone, seatbelts still off.

My boys aged 4, 8 and 10 know that they must put on their seatbelts when they get into the car. They know that when Mommy is driving, Mommy cannot talk on the phone. They are just kids and yet they know about safety. But adults with flashy cars don't.
