Who pays for the crop loss the farmer experiences due to this negligent ‘driver?
Where do these people learn (supposedly) to drive? It sure seemed like there were a lot less auto accidents when most drivers were taught driver’s education in public high schools. Nowadays, STOP signs and RED traffic lights don’t appear to have any meaning. But driving with a cell phone in one hand makes drivers more aware, of something, but not the road or traffic around them.
