It had to Happen

Our thoughts go out to the injured people. Hope you make a speedy recovery. Unfortunately every morning thru this stretch of road people don't stop at the STOP signs and are overtaking on the centre medium strip while exceeding the 50kmph speed limit. It's time Police monitored this on a regular basis. I must have dodged a bullet this morning as I passed this intersection a few minutes earlier when a black ute drove thru a STOP sign in front of me. Might buy a Lotto ticket for tonight.
