An Open Letter to Baton Rouge Motorist

Dear Motorist,

This may be news, but our roads are not a NASCAR racetrack, so please drive accordingly. Also, please refrain from eating, reading, applying makeup or texting/talking on cell phones while driving. My observation is that you are having enough trouble doing one thing at a time well.

Please use your turn signals, most of us are not mind readers, and all surprises are not pleasant! Please look up the term “tailgating” and I am not talking about a party.

These are just a few suggestions, but I am convinced they could make our roads safer.

Now, gentlemen , start your engines.
