The State of the Roads

General
I don't normally post journals like this, but this week has been so horrific that I thought it important to share.
People, be careful out there. November is the highest month for car -related fatalities.
This -week- alone, 17 people have been involved in car crashes in just in Western Washington. 7 people have been killed.
A Bicyclist is run over by a dump truck on Howell street. Link
Three people killed in Kingston. : link
A Prius takes out three people, including a 4 year old, in the U-District. Link
A Car crashed through a business in Renton. link The article states that 5 cars have crashed through this building in 3 years. How can people just let this happen? That is a sign that the road needs a redesign.
A man is run over in a road rage incident on I-5 LINK
A Bicyclist is killed by a pickup in Marysville. Link He was hit on STATE STREET of all places. State street, which is pretty much the main drag down the center of Marysville. That would be like getting run over going down main street.
A 19-year old kid runs a stop sign and crashes into a car with 5 people in it Link
Drag Racing in south Seattle kills two teens Link
This, this is why I don't drive. This is why I bicycle. Because stuff like this is unacceptable.

Then you get the ones that tailgate you get mad whip around you and then whip in front of you to make a right turn when you are in the curb lane... I've had them do that from the left lane a couple of times too.
