How fast was he driving? I have a teenage daughter and she expresses concern herself about teenagers driving. She says it’s very dangerous before and after school. Some teenagers are dangerous!! They speed, weave around cars and don’t pay attention! Police monitoring the roads before and after school would help.

Prayers he makes a full recovery ❤️‍

As someone who drive’s through Flomaton everyday , Where are the cops ?? You never see them anymore . The only cop that can be found is the one sitting with his light on by the school . Before they always made their presence know . Without the police out there everybody including Big trucks fly on 31 and on 113 .

I am coming to believe that AI speed cameras (and lots of them) are what is needed to get drivers to follow speed limits. Instead of putting fines on citations, they could be placed on top of tag or license renewals.

As much as I would like to see more actual law officer enforcement, it just doesn’t seem practical. And as much as I disdain the loss of privacy, driving occurs on public property and there are rules to follow. If AI and hefty fines can get this under control, I regretfully must say I would support it, given the never ending reckless driving habits of our own citizens.

Pray this teenager gets another chance. School zones are becoming the most dangerous stretches of road everywhere. We need cameras on every school zone flashing light to send out well-deserved tickets. A huge fine might help save a life.

It’s only time till this comes to a local roadway here, too. Travel Pine Barren Road and CR 164 between 3:25 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. on school days, and you’ll see several cars and pickups driving like they are on Germany’s Autobahn. With frequency, they pass in no passing zones, tailgate at high speeds, and drive in both lanes blocking others from passing them as they race down the roadway. Maybe some targeted traffic enforcement in the morning and afternoon would help change these bad habits.
