Please ‘stop’

Dear Editor:

I am writing to remind people how important it is that we all stop at “stop” signs

When you deliberately go through a stop sign you are really deliberately willing to kill someone.

I have just made a report at the police station because a man in an SUV just caught himself in time to stop after I laid on my horn to make him aware of a stop sign. The police officers told me it has to do with cell phones and lack of attention.

The four beautiful girls and teacher coming home from a softball tournament who were victims of a driver not stopping at the stop sign is only one example of someone who has slid through a stop sign because no one was there to catch you.

I have to ask the question to you: do you have a conscience? People drive too fast and in a hurry, not caring for anyone but themselves.

Are you willing to shut your cell phone off just so you can concentrate on your driving?

I was taught to count to 10 at a stop sign. It does help to give yourself time to keep looking for clear passage.

I am concerned about the selfishness of our society that some people don’t care. There is a game called Russian roulette. The next time you run a stop sign might be the same day someone runs a stop sign on you.

Think about it. Life is short we don’t need to make it shorter.
