Dear Editor:I take the shuttle to class almost everyday. I like doing this because the bus drivers are very courteous and, for me, it’s better than walking.
My biggest problem, however, is when I get off the bus. Even though the bus has flashing lights I have to deal with other drivers (because I know they are not always students) who can’t be bothered to slow down or stop for those who are crossing.
Those getting off the bus cannot see who’s driving up. Sometimes the driver can warn us but you have some who will speed right around the bus. I have barely missed getting hit by a car on more than one occasion.
One day, it will be somebody’s life and that person will forever have that victim’s blood on their heads because they didn’t care to stop. Such disregard for life and safety angers me.
I’m almost to the point where in the future, I will be memorizing license plate numbers, althought I have a feeling that would be fruitless.
I hope my letter doesn’t fall on deaf ears and closed minds.
Sincerely,
Candace J. Davis
