Welcome to the land of inconsiderate   Observations of a visitor
to South Florida:  1.Why have cars with signal lights when few
drivers ever use them?  2.Why do so many drivers who do use
their signal lights do so after the fact, as if to say, “Look
what I did”?  3. Why do bicyclists ignore red lights? Why are
they allowed to do so?  4. Why are drivers allowed to use phones
while driving? They are not paying attention and are driving
with one hand.  Re the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk:  1. Why do
walkers not walk on the correct side — the right side?  2. When
large groups of walkers stop to talk, why do they not move to
one side, instead of blocking the walking area?  3. Why do
smokers not use the cigarette-butt disposal units provided?  4.
Why don’t bike riders warn walkers, a bell ring or a word, when
they are passing very close to them?  This area needs
information signs to educate those who have no consideration of
others.  Zel Bocknek, Hallandale Beach  Read more Speak Up
