Did you know that traffic crashes are the number one killer of people between the ages of 4 to 34? Each year traffic crashes kill more people in Maryland than homicides. Over 90% of total crashes are preventable incidents caused by driver error. You can help to prevent these tragedies by making the right choices on the road. Crashes are no “accident” so remember that you hold the key to prevention!

Gov. O’Malley is no doubt sincere in his Carteresque conclusions. He is, after all, a social engineer, a government-centric progressive planner and thinker who believes that government is not just an instrument of change, it is the change.
Martin O’Malley is a link in a long chain of governmental administrators in Maryland and the District of Columbia who, when it comes to transportation, have sought to transform their ideology into government policies and impose them on the public in the name of progress. In that process, they have destroyed the transportation system in the metropolitan area, causing gridlock, wasting energy, inciting road rage, detracting from home life and crippling the economy with lost productivity and efficiency.

A crash this afternoon east of Bridgeville has left a man dead and 5 injured. State Police say 26 year old Abigail Carmean of Greenwood failed to stop for a stop sign on Chaplin’s Chapel Road and collided with a car driven by a 58 year old Georgetown man, who died in the crash

(You MAY KILL SOMEONE if you PERSIST in gliding through stop signs. Stop means stop and look BOTH WAYS BEFORE PROCEEDING. This was NOT an accident. It was a fatal collision that was probably preventable had the responsible driver STOPPED at the STOP sign.
Marylanders, how many examples of unsafe driving consequences do we need to change our behavior?)
