Thinks drivers need educating: meaning of double yellow lines

Jennifer Parker writes:
Ed, I'm thinking a campaign to educate Kentucky drivers what a "double yellow line" is painted on the road for would be a great idea. Time and time again I see people passing regardless of the road regulations. Again, this morning as I drove KY 61 S. to Columbia, I watched a driver pass in a double yellow zone. It seems people are in such a hurry they constantly disregard the law. So SCARY!! They have no respect for the lives of other drivers. It seems if statistics are kept that a majority of accidents are due to those crossing into the path of others coming the opposite direction. I wonder how many are due to illegal passing? - Jennifer Parker
Thanks, Jennifer Parker for voicing another concern for safety on our roads. One wonders if there would be any collisions, any fatalities, on Adair County roads if sensible speeds were observed, if attention were given to maintaining intervals, and if full attention were given to the operation of properly maintained vehicles.? It certainly wouldn't be the carnage we record far, far too often. Thanks. -EW
