There are people out there whose reckless driving puts other drivers in danger. Whether they are texting or talking on the phone while driving, intoxicated, driving too fast, or simply disobeying the law, their actions can have devastating consequences. Sadly, these motorists are more likely to be responsible for fatal incidents. This issue hits close to home for one family who lost their beloved pet in a tragic accident caused by a reckless driver.
After their family dog was killed, this family decided that enough was enough. They were tired of the reckless driving and speeding in their neighborhood, and they wanted to send a strong message. They took a bold step and put up a giant sign on their lawn that had everyone talking. The message was simple but powerful: ”We buried our dog last week because you won’t slow down. If you hit one of my kids, your family may be burying you.”
Their sign quickly gained attention when it was shared on Reddit and spread like wildfire on social media. Many people were drawn to the message and it sparked a heated discussion about the issue of reckless driving and the family’s controversial sign.
One person commented, “I never understand why people speed through neighborhoods…or parking lots. Seriously, what’s the logic in that? Love the sign. People drive way too fast in neighborhoods. More than 20 is too fast. Kids on bikes, kids playing in their own yard and a ball goes in the street, it happens. So why is there this problem? Well, it’s because people are idiots. Plain and simple.”
Another person added, “Damn straight! One of my dogs got away from me, and the woman who ran over him didn’t even slow down. Just ran over him. The same could happen to a child.”
While many supported the family’s message and understood their frustration, there were also those who criticized their actions. Some believed the family should have taken better care of their dog and not let it roam freely. They suggested that keeping the dog on a leash could have prevented the tragedy.
“I don’t feel sorry for them one bit. I have the same problem in my neighborhood. Everyone thinks it is free-range country for dogs and cats. My dogs do not leave my property without my permission,” one reader wrote.
“Speeding is bad, but your dog and kids are your responsibility to keep them out of the street,” another person added.
The issue of reckless driving is a serious one, and this family’s sign serves as a reminder of the potential consequences. It has sparked a much-needed conversation about the importance of responsible driving and keeping our neighborhoods safe.
