why do drivers just go without looking at their surroundings? I see this on a daily, no turn signal, tailgating, driving in the middle of both lanes and not checking their back widow when in reverse. today I was at Wal-Mart and walking back to my car this car pulls out and not even looking where the driver is going and hits my mom. a whole group of people saw the whole thing and the drivers family wants to argue with me that he never hit my mom. a lady clears my mom out of the way to make sure she was ok. ( and ma'am if you are reading this and you know who you are my mom and I want to say thank you for your help) while I spoke to the the driver and got the info I needed incase she was badly hurt. she wasn't hit hard but enough to make her hit the ground. a 51 yr old woman shouldn't have to worry when going shopping that someone is gonna back into her because they don't know how to look out the back window when in reverse.
is this how we drive? not paying attention to where we are going? just have the attitude to get out of my way or im gonna hit you? Windsor already has the highest insurance rates in Ontario, and drivers like this make it worse. why should we suffer and have to slam on our breaks because your cutting people off to get to the same red light? why should we have to yell and smack your vehicle to get your attention that you just backed into someone walking to their car. what happened to road etiquette? is it gone? do people just not respect the other drivers around them anymore? I feel sorry for people who don't pay attention, and why do I feel sorry? well, you don't know who is in our cars, we could have our clients in our cars driving them to whatever appointment or grocery store. some of us may even drive your grand parents or your disabled family members or even have a baby in the car. I see this on a daily, no one caring just speeding, no turn signals and cutting people off.. why? does it make you feel like a big shot that you drive like a moron? I just don't understand why some people have to drive like this, and im not saying all drivers are like this but im saying ive seen my fair share of people who shouldn't have their license. its a privilege to have a license, but that doesn't give you the right to hit someone and knock them to the ground because you don't feel like looking out your back window.
