Please Think (PSA)

Just a quick post, as I read a very moving story that reminded me of other things from my life.

If you're driving, please think about the other drivers, other people on the street, the world outside your car's interior. I know that should be obvious, but frequently people get caught up inside their own worlds and when you're at the wheel of a car that can be lethal.

A recent wreck at the intersection outside our apartment falls in this category - the elderly man who was hit while riding in the bike lane is still in critical condition.

A long time ago, someone I'd known in high school died due to a car crash - just a bit more thought on the part of those involved and it wouldn't have happened.

Very recently, a game designer for Relic died in a car crash that was in no way his fault. He was thinking, though, and that's very likely why his pregnant wife survived.

Please, think.
