Why do we see 3 or 4 accidents a day not including the many more in the rain.
Why can’t people drive more careful.
I live out of town. Whenever I drive in Lakewood I daven at each intersection not to get into an accident. Cars parked up to the corners where drivers can’t see upcoming traffic (city’s fault) speed limits too high for side roads, not enough lighting at night, no speed cameras on main roads to discourage speeding driving, drivers not being polite to other vehicles (yes, it’s ok to let someone make that turn before you) school busses making right turns from the middle lane cutting me off dangerously, speeding to make the lights and much more. We need signs coming off the GSP “You are officially off the highway. Please drive safely and be cautious for other moving vehicles and pedestrians.”
Sometimes cars get into a flip-over.
Common sense to avoid a flip-over:
Slow down while your vehicle is facing straight ahead, only after you
completely slow down, now is the time to turn your vehicle to the right
or to the left.
May God send to them a quick recovery.
Driving in Lakewood is akin to playing bumper cars at high speed. Unfortunately, the price being paid is far higher than one for a 5 minute ride.
For those who have resided in town for a while, it’s the officials whom you have elected that are responsible for uncontrolled building of houses, without adequate infrastructure of the roads.
For those who have recently moved in, you knew beforehand how bad the driving in this town is, and chose to live here, anyway. Please reconsider your Brooklyn driving habits, slow down, and obey those pesky road signs.
Speed limits, traffic lights, and stop signs are NOT mere suggestions. They must be adhered to. The life which you will probably save may be your very own.
Too many cars, not enough road.
Stop the new developments until there’s enough roadway to contain all that traffic.
When streets are built within new developments they must be wider and esigned with the ability to drive in and out without needing to turn around.
too many cars. to many on cell phones.
Obviously this accident was the fault of the cameraman, he was obviously zigzagging across the road as evidenced by the different angles in the photos.
Next time please shoot pics carefully.
