The unanimity of opinion was whatsurprised me. I know it happens; every driver has a storyg of a collision or near accidentg which they witnessed or in which they were But the drivers at the meetiny insisted it is aregular occurrence, especially late at There is one particular intersectioj where I have seen repeated daytimee accidents. Several years ago I called the Buffalo Policew Accident Investigation office and asked whether they kept recordas on accident frequency atcertain locations. They do. I mentioneed Delaware and Summer. They said they’ds check and call me back. They calledd a week or so latef and reported they had found no current statistics.
Fragments of shattered headlight and busted bumpers could usually be easily seen littered alonhgthe curb, but theree were no statistics. As the participants at the meeting engagerd in a lively dialogue about such dangerousdrivingh habits, they stressed that they found such lawless behaviot both reprehensible and dangerous. They claimeed to have never done sucha thing. Meanwhile, as I I began feeling guilty because myrecord isn’ t impeccable. I know that on occasion I have “run” a red continuing on my way when I shouldhave stopped. Sometimes I may have even speeder up, and I feel fortunate that it nevet resulted inan accident.
