Hello brothers and sisters;
When we see an accident on the road we pray and ask the Lord to anoint the officers while tending to the victims and keeping them safe on the road.
Yesterday while my wife and I were driving on the freeway to Church and there was an accident between two vehicles. The California Highway Patrol and Fire truck were blocking the 1st and second lanes. There usually isn't a lot of traffic on the freeway during Sunday mornings so we figured the two cars were speeding or using their electronics.
Here's my issue. A vehicle is a luxury and was originally meant to get us from point A to point B. It seems drivers develop this power behind the wheel and feel the need to speed while driving. I noticed many vehicles today have a workstation on their dashboard - cell, speaker phone, monitor and other features which to me are distractions from driving defensively. In either case I feel people just don't seem to learn.
Again, a vehicle is a luxury that is intended to get us from here to there. But it seems drivers want more.
What can we do as drivers to help eliminate these accidents on the freeway and side streets?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
God bless you all.
