Another kid hit on a bike.

[Oilit]

I don't know what to say about this, so the facts will have to speak for themselves. This last Friday here in Charlotte an 11-year old on his bicycle was killed by a hit-and-run driver. The driver, 19 years old, later turned himself in. Evidently he didn't stop because he was driving a stolen car.

Where I live people also don't stop, and not because it's a stolen car....but because it's Los Angeles
California....we are now the Hit and Run capital of the US.

Los Angeles Faces Hit-and-Run ‘Epidemic'

A hit-and-run crash occurs about once every 18 minutes in Los Angeles, according to data analyzed by the NBC4 I-Team that illustrates the extent of a problem that has been called an “epidemic.”

I ride a lot in the city (Chicago) for school and you always have to be vigilant to avoid an unlicensed taxi (Uber and lift ) or someone high. Really grinds my gears

Today driving around in Orange County I would estimate that at least 50% of the drivers should never have been issued a license to begin with. I am really surprised the freeways are not dead stopped at all times of the day because of more bad accidents. It is worse than an epidemic and only going to get worse with the cell phone use going on with perhaps 50% of drivers fiddling with their phones while speeding around.. Then add in the unlicensed drivers and drunks then we are soon approaching 90% deadly drivers. What a mess. I fear for my life when driving around down here in socal and have my head on a swivel. My heart goes out to the family...tragic.
