We Don’t Make Our Own Traffic Laws

To the Editor:

I notice the speed limit has been reduced from 35 to 30 on Toddy Hill Road. I travel this road at least two times a day. When I go the speed limit, invariably a car will pass me on a small straight stretch going south when there are no cars approaching from the south. Either that or they ride right on my back bumper until I turn into Pilgrim Lane.

I’m waiting for the day when a car will pull out of one of the intersecting streets while the passing car is in their lane. While I wait at the end of Pilgrim Lane for the school bus I can’t help but think where those cars will end up.

Don’t know what the answer is to this problem. I know the police can’t be everywhere all the time. I know some drivers think they can make their own traffic laws. We see that all the time in this town. I like to think these lawbreakers are just passing through our “Nicer in Newtown.” Are they?
