There have been a lot of really bad traffic accidents in and around the country lately. One really bad left 3 kids orphans because someone ran a red light with his jeep. Another bad one left the driver's (high blood alcohol and cocaine levels) twin brother and several others dead. A bunch of folks started a demonstration to demand that the government do something about accidents. Excuse me. Just what can the government do about drivers being stupid? Nothing seems to be able to deter Israeli drivers from breaking the laws already in place and the judges hand down ridiculous sentences to traffic criminals. AND THEY EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING? What exactly? It was announced that new cameras are being put in at intersections with high accident rates. This will help how? It might show who ran the red light, but when the offender gets off with community service, what good will it do?
Oh, well. The only thing I can do about it is continue to drive as usual (very carefully) and keep an eye out for the insane drivers who pass on solid white lines.
