To the Editor:
My wife and I are in Reston every six weeks or so. We may notice the traffic more than folks who are here all the time. But we are always amazed at the careless driving.
Right turn on red without stopping -- without so much as a tap on the
brake -- is the rule rather than the exception around North Point Shopping Center. It's tempting to look to the left, determine that no car is coming, and go ahead and turn. But what about the pedestrian in the crosswalk that you don't see until it's too late? What if it's a parent pushing a child in a stroller? How could you live with that?
We also see lots of distracted driving and running of red lights.
Please slow down and obey the traffic laws. Otherwise, you could find
yourself living a life of regret.
