An Impatient Driver on Lake Osborne

We who live out here see it all of the time. Crazy drivers, too impatient to slow down for the wildlife that crosses the road...speeding, in a hurry to get to Publix. Doves and turtles have been run over. Drivers beep their horns at them...ducks don't understand...they just waddle across the road. It is their habitat too. One of these days it will be a human being...then what? Will we finally get speed bumps? Considerate drivers? How can anyone be in that big of a hurry to kill a living, breathing animal that is hurting no one?

Slow down and smell the roses and remember that our wildlife needs protection.

I drive like Mario Andretti cutting through your condo paradise, love the winding curves, fresh asphalt and views of Lake Osborne. Vroom vroom!!!

It's very sad.These people see the ducks,they just don't care. I hope Karma bites these monsters in the ass. Wouldn't it be nice if we got some speed control from PBSO west of I-95?

Conditions on the roads seem to worsen by the day. I don't know why there is no effort to curb aggressive drivers. West of 95 is a race track. Accidents on Congress 2,3 a day. Think of the resources that are wasted clearing up after a crash. Very sad about the duck, but these losers would just as soon run over your kid.

Cars should not have the capacity to go over the limit of the freeways. People have been proven to be unable to control themselves. Why should cars go 120?
