There are folks out there whose reckless driving endangers not only themselves but everyone else on the road. Whether they’re texting, talking on the phone, intoxicated, speeding, or simply ignoring traffic laws, their actions can lead to tragic outcomes.
Unfortunately, these careless drivers are often the cause of fatal accidents.
One family, grieving the loss of their beloved dog who was killed by a speeding car, decided to take a stand. They erected a bold sign on their lawn to highlight the dangers of reckless driving in their neighborhood. The message quickly became the talk of the community, as many perceived it as a stern warning.
The sign read: “We buried our dog last week because you won’t slow down. If you hit 1 of my kids your family may be burying you.”
Initially posted on Reddit, the photo of the sign soon found its way to Facebook and other social media platforms.
It didn’t take long for the post to capture widespread attention, sparking a heated conversation about the appropriateness of the family’s message and their method of addressing speeding drivers.
One person commented, “I never understand why people speed through neighborhoods…or parking lots. Seriously…what’s the logic in that?” Another stated, “Love the sign. People drive way too fast in neighborhoods. More than 20 is too fast. Kids on bikes, kids playing in their own yard… it happens. So why is there this problem? Well, it’s because people are f***ing idiots. Plain and simple.”
A third user shared, “Damn straight! One of my dogs got away from me and the woman who ran over him didn’t even slow down. Just ran over him. Same could happen to a child.”
However, some criticized the family for the sign, arguing they should have kept a closer watch on their dog. They speculated that the dog wasn’t properly supervised or leashed, leading to the tragic incident.
One reader commented, “I don’t feel sorry for them one bit. Have the same problem in my neighborhood. Everyone thinks it is free-range country for dogs and cats. My dogs do not leave my property without my permission.”
Another added, “Keep your dog on a leash! If you cared about your fur friend, you would take better care of them.”
A third person remarked, “Speeding is bad, but your dog and kids are your responsibility to keep them out of the street.”
