My street isn't the best street around. It's a residential double lane that's completely straight for about a 100 yards far away from where cops normally patrol. As such people like to speed down it like maniacs. My mother was the victim of an accident right in front of our house when the driver in front of her stopped to turn and the driver behind her plowed into my mother, pushing her into the car in front of her. She and the driver in front got out to exchange information with each other, but the third driver backed up and zoomed off. Hood of her car unlatched by the crash and flying straight up into the wind. Might I also mention that after the 100 yard straight away the road suddenly goes all twisty and turny with plenty of blind turns? Cops found her and arrested her for the various appropriate charges. I myself was nearly in an accident on this same road. There are several connecting streets running perpendicular to this one. One has a significant downgrade to it in addition to the stop sign being placed several feet too far back to be able to see approaching traffic from either direction. Remember how I said that people like to speed down my street? 2+2=4. I pull up to the stop sign, look left, look right, clear both ways, so I pull forward. As I'm 45 degrees into completing the turn, I see some guy in an SUV apparently doing 65 mph barreling down the road. Bastard nearly hits me and the only thing that saved me from months in the hospital from getting crushed was the fact that he braked and swerved at the last second to avoid me and jumped the curb into some bushes. Course dick for brains got out of his SUV and started yelling at me while I'm sitting in the middle of the road in both lanes, turn still uncompleted, because I nearly shat myself. City later installed speed bumps. They did not install them on that 100 yard long straight away.
