What happened to driving with common sense

[Chris142]

There is a "T" intersection near me. At least once a month someone would blow through it and end up in a field after smacking a curb.

Then someone built a house right where cars crash. Before they were finished a car ran into the new construction.

Now the house is built and they put up a wall. Maybe it slowed the dummy driver down enough as to not end up in their living room?

You can see they patched the destroyed wall with blankets for now.

It seems common sense isn't so common anymore.

Driving with common sense? What happened to ANY common sense?

Should put some reflectors on that fence. Most states do something like this (this is in Virginia, not a state known for excessive signage of any kind)..

If it ticks up in frequency it could become the next Milwaukee Roundabout or 11' 8" (now 12' 4"?) bridge!

Man I hate those roundabouts.

Maybe they thought they were in Orange County, where blowing through red lights is a common occurence, as they think if they drove fast enough they can beat the yellow light transition

Property there can't be especially cheap? I mean who wants to live next to a noisy intersection where there's lots of wrecks and exhaust pollution?

Somebody needs some Hood Paint.

Maybe it's just the age of the drivers. I was a lot more wreckless back in the day, though never blew through something like that and ended up in a living room. We didn't have cellphones back then.

I don't know if you mean graffiti but I'd love to see a colorful "don't crash into me" spraypainted across that wall.

^ I mean hood.

Not a fan of graffiti but maybe a mural of a legion of roman soldiers with spears sticking out... or a row of elephants.

I knew someone would mention that. The paint was beautiful then one day it started coming off in sheets.

I wouldn't worry Chris. That's a load-bearing blanket...

A haunted intersection.

Sometimes the traffic authority in charge will add signage or caution bumps in the roads where stops are frequently blown through like that.

A highly reflective should be added.

Man I hate those roundabouts.

Why, not like roundabouts are difficult to navigate or anything and they are far more efficient as they keep traffic moving unlike 4 ways and traffic lights.

This is a gas station in Cayce SC. There is a Y in the road people keep missing and crash into their gas station. They have installed an old limo for a barricade. In fact, they have done many over the years - once they get too beat up, they drag it out and install a new one. Been going on quite a while.

Much prefer the roundabout over typical intersection, but I can see why someone would get annoyed for having to slow down at every intersection rather than blow through them when they're GREEN

No brains and a Turbo didn't help

Covid. People lost a lot of skill after Covid.
