Every morning, I wake up, just like I hope most of us do.
I start my day by turning on the TV to catch the news. Regardless of the channel, it all feels quite cheesy.
However, the same news items greet me each day.
‘A House is on Fire’ and ‘A Car Crash’. Occasionally, there’s a twist on the car crash story when someone crashes into a house.
This has become a regular phenomenon. Living in a hot and dry country makes us vulnerable to fires, and yet nearly every other day, there’s a reported house fire – what’s the reason for this?
As for the car crashes… some are fatal and others are not. But what about the ones that involve crashing into houses? – why does this happen?
Just last week, a fortunate escape occurred when four children narrowly missed serious injury after a car collided with their house.
I can shed some light on the driving aspect. We must be amongst the worst drivers in the western world. If you’re unaware of this, perhaps you fall into the category of these bad drivers.
Tailgating…those drivers haven’t a clue. Allowing someone under the age of 20 to operate a V8 car is absurd. It’s not about me being old and grumpy…well, maybe just a little…but these drivers are truly dangerous.
There’s a need for stricter regulations on who receives driving licenses. It seems too easy to obtain these nowadays…at least that’s my perspective.
Regarding the fires… I’m not particularly knowledgeable about the underlying causes of this frequent issue. However, arsonists should definitely face harsher penalties.
There are numerous reckless individuals who can’t drive and enjoy igniting fires.
Both bad drivers and fire-starters deserve significantly stricter sentences.
Certainly, I know accidents happen, but if more severe consequences were enforced, I believe people would think twice before acting and would be more aware in their endeavors to do the right thing.
I’d love to hear your opinions on this.
Am I the only one noticing this recurring pattern in the news each day?
If these incidents were to go uncensored, they wouldn’t be on the news, and we’d remain oblivious. However, they ARE being reported, and we are aware of them.
Additionally, if anyone has suggestions on how to improve this situation, please share your thoughts.
I am genuinely interested in hearing everyone’s views.
This issue is significant – and finding an obvious solution seems difficult without being labeled a Fascist.
