The roadways should be safe for all people on all modes of transportation, especially with children back in school and getting too and from on their skates, skateboards, and bicycles.

Yes, we're all in a hurry and we all have work to do—places to go, things to do, people to see—but what is your life going to be like if, in your hurriedness (is that a word?), you are responsible for someone's death? Remember that in many states, even "accidental" deaths can be subject to prosecution for "involuntary manslaugher."

Slow down, look around, and pay attention.
