Yeah, no
Look at the damage in these three cases. Does that look like someone who was carefully parking and their foot slipped? But lets just tolerate it and pay more in insurance because the right to drive is a fundamental human right in America.
I'm sure we'll soon be reminded that the real problem is people in dark clothing and narrowed roads.
It looks like two people had to be taken to the hospital. They should charge the driver with attempted murder. (Or at least reckless driving.)

Don't be unamerican. Peoples right to drive without consequences is more important than people's rights to walk down a sidewalk without being killed by a maniac driver swerving all over the place.

I'm sure they'll figure out a way to blame it on cyclists. Along with 9/11, the success of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, traffic congestion in West Roxbury, the Gardener heist and why my local Dunkin Donuts is always out of French crullers by the time I get there.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time at this DD.

The Dunks isn't carrying any plastic shopping bags. How do you expect drivers to see it???
Maybe, just maybe
...and I don't care if I've said this a hundred times in this space already...maybe it should be harder to get and easier to lose a driver's license. I think it was harder to prove my worthiness to convince Blockbuster (kids, ask your parents) to lend me a VHS (again, kids) of "Ghostbusters" than it was to ask the Commonwealth permission to propel a giant hunk of deadly metal through the streets.

It is easier to operate a killing machine than it is to get access to the Internet at the library.
Strange, terrible driving this weekend
Words struggle to describe the sort of driving I saw this weekend, and I've seen some crazy stuff in my time -- this was no ordinary bad MA driving: None of it was brazenly aggressive and as far as I could tell, no cell phones or advanced age were involved (whereas on normal days, it seems like 90% of the bad drivers are either using phones or are very old). Everybody seemed 3/4 asleep.
Saw two accidents in a span of a mile on 93N Saturday night, and a brigade of rubberneckers utterly mesmerized by another accident on 93S right where you'd expect a breakaway from the first two. At other times, cars slowly drifted into your lane with no signal, I'm not even sure if they were aware they were changing lanes. Weirder, everybody seemed to be driving more slowly than usual.
On 95S, with no traffic at all, a driver readying for the 3N exit a mile up bullied me out of a merge risking a wreck, then gave the finger, sprayed wiper fluid, and hung out of her window screaming while emphasizing the middleness of said finger (this one defied all logic -- if she wanted to race to the exit, there were three open lanes to the left and no reason to accelerate and block a merger).
I wasn't taking notes but these were just the things that stood out. Did anyone else notice inexplicable bad driving this weekend? What's the deal?
Everybody is high

odd.....
when was the last time you saw anyone discuss or provide oversight on driver's education?
In my town, the kids are driving aggressively from the get go, with cell phones just making things worse.
Drivers like this should lose
Drivers like this should lose their license and start riding a a bike. At least with a bike you can't cause this amount of damage.
More that 30,00 people dead every year
What are we doing about it? Basically nothing. This would be a good start:
