It is very sad these days that so many people are just not responsible for their actions. In another thread we have been discussing driving too fast/slow and the consequences of those actions.
About two weeks ago someone went into the ditch, through our fence - snapping off two posts and breaking all the wires. They must have had a 4 x 4 because they were able to whip a circle in the pasture and drive back out of the ditch using the same hole they made getting in.
Now there was no inclement weather that night i.e. no fog, snow, blowing snow etc. and there is no significant reason that we could see for them hitting the ditch. Other than speed and more than likely not paying attention. Have we heard from anyone about what they did and that they were willing to pay for damages and time to fix the fence - NO. I doubt we will, but the fence will have to be fixed otherwise there will be sheep all over the road come summertime. ;-)
There was a day when people would let you know, but I guess this "me, me, me" attitude precludes doing the right thing.
About 6 weeks ago, I watched as two vehicles were coming down our road - about to turn onto Highway #54. One vehicle had stopped for the stop sign, the other occupied by a couple of young kids, made no attempt whatsoever to stop and were going at least 50 mph down our road which has been like a mogul run this past couple of months. Needless to say one vehicle hit the other, pushed the first vehicle into the ditch on the opposite side of the road, the driver of the 2nd vehicle lost the load off the top of his truck and things were an absolutel mess.
The real kicker is that had I been about a minute faster on the scene than what I was, I would have been nailed by the vehicles as I turned down my road.
Just where are people's minds at these days?
