(Re: “Fatal accidents on the rise,” Dec. 7) It’s amusing and amazing, to say the least, that the police don’t seem to realize or admit to a very good reason. 1) Where are they when young and old are making dangerous spur-of-the-moment U-turns in the middle of the street or anywhere else they wish? 2) Cutting in so closely — it’s breathtaking, and not getting creamed by the grace of God! 3) Weaving in and out, going through stop signs, not giving an inch to anyone.
Civility and courtesy are dead and so, heaven help us, that we also are not dead! Oh, yes, I forgot — honking at me when I stop for a pedestrian!
