The traffic light turns amber, you step on the accelerator in
the hope of being able to get through before the light turns red. You narrowly
avoid colliding with the person who has taken off seconds before the light
turned green. You swerve, you swear, and you go on. After all, haven’t you been
in the same situation almost every time you have taken the car out?
Accidents are averted most of the time. When they happen,
the victims become just another statistic. Yet, we continue to set our own
rules. Breaking traffic laws is not even considered a risk.

What a powerful message, Natasha! Glad you shared this. And it is interesting how so many people think that rules do not apply to them...
I totally agree with you....
So true. The other day I was speaking to my mother about how every time we drive somewhere, it's actually a little miracle to get back home alive.
