Dear Editor:
I guess I am another person that does not understand people getting so upset with getting a ticket because they are breaking the law.
Yes, I am well past the age of legally becoming a senior. How many of us know or at least heard of someone killed or maimed for life by speeders every year in this province?
Surely we read or listen to some news! Please tell someone who has had a devastating loss caused by speed that we shouldn’t try to clamp down on this. I could be the next to get a ticket, but who’s fault would that be?
Do we all agree with everything Premier Doug Ford says or just things that suit us? What other things does our government do that could be construed as being a cash cow?
As far as I know, for all of my life, the cash comes from borrowing and from the working people and employers to pay for everything. We are the government, folks.
You know we are allowed a huge latitude on the open highway so why do we have to get all shook up because we are asked to slow down in areas where we should be driving slower anyway? And being people, we will not obey any speed limit if there is not some strong deterrent.
We people in general seem to be getting a lot more impatient on the roads. There’s been road rage incidents right here in Mount Forest. Shame on us. Guess what things we might have to complain about if we lived in certain countries right now?
Now if Mr. Ford would like to spread some positive news, why does he not act on a headline I read in today’s paper: “Man charged in shooting gets bail, despite plea to keep him in jail.”
If we would obey the law it won’t cost us $10, let alone $10 million.
Gary Smith,
Mount Forest
