The Annual Madness
July and August are the two big months for motoring madness in Spain. Families pile into the car and off they go, some straight to their deaths. It does not have to be that way! Alcohol, speed, carelessness, these are the three factors, either only one, or all three.
The question that burns in my mind is why do people drive like this? However, it is a futile question as there is no logic. People get in their cars and put their feet way down on the accelerator for no reason. They drink alcohol without giving it a thought, and they are careless because they must think they are in their living rooms.
For those people who kill themselves by doing stupid things, good riddance. I can’t be bothered to feel sorry or dredge up sympathy for them. Their going is not a total loss. Others will move into their jobs and apartments and take over their savings. However, the bastards always have to take the innocent with them. A head-on crash with other vehicles travelling at the speed limit in their own lanes is the most common cause of that.
I hope that on the other side there is some opportunity to redress such wrongs. It would be good to know that the aggrieved can kick the shit out of the other guy for all eternity. Now that is to die for!
