Dear Editor,
With the return to school coming upon us quickly, I think we should remind some drivers of the rules of the roads.
1. Slow down and obey the speed limit
(This is not a suggestion, it’s the law.)
2. Come to a complete stop when a crosswalk is occupied
(It’s not a race to see who can get to the middle of the intersection first.)
3. Come to a complete stop behind the double white line at all red lights and stop signs.
(That’s why there are all those nice white lines there.)
4. Richmond has a lot of new drivers and they need to be aware that the cars they are driving are heavy, fast moving, dangerous machines. (If unclear on this concept just reread 1-3.)
5. The speed limits in and around schools is 30 km/h.
Lastly, just slow down as your life, your children’s lives and the lives of others are worth more than you saving a couple minutes by speeding.
