I lived in a few cities across America and in my observation many people here are absolute monsters behind the wheel. And how can you have no regard for somone's life? It seems like you hear about a hit and run every other day.

Wish there was a map of areas with the highest occurrences.

I stop for squirrels trying to commit suicide by running in front of me, I couldn't live with myself by hitting another human being, let alone driving off after hitting them.

Humans suck.

Illegals. I lived in NorCal for many years and when they would hit someone they would always run from the scene. And most of the time a DUI was involved. Another nicety from open borders

I stop for animals as well. We just took a dog to the local animal shelter who had been hit, but the driver actually stopped to help us get him off the street (alive). I've seen plenty of drivers (I live on a main Blvd.) who seem to aim for them. It's really quite disturbing.

I wouldn't say all humans suck, just 5% of them.

Well there you go. We've managed to turn this to "illegals" in only five posts. Well done!

Of course legal citizens never drive DUI nor do they H&R, so it only makes sense, right? The fact that illegals have fewer tickets and generally better driving habits than legals - because they don't want to EVER be caught at anything and deported - is inconsequential. Let's focus on that demographic - well, just because we love to demonize them.

Oh yes, I've seen bastards speed up to hit animals, it's...

You think only 5%? Hmmm, ... I think it's more like 10%. There's a lot of people in the world.

My God! This is horrible in such a big city with so many dangerous people driving automobiles! I can help but wonder if there might even be other huge cities around the globe that also suffer such horrendous vehicular atrocities?? Probably not since Los Angeles is undoubtedly Hell on Earth. I guess I'm off to Idaho to buy a horse now.
