Default Deadly weekend at the capitol

Starting early Saturday morning, there were a string of seperate accidents in the Sacramento region resulting in 7 deaths over the weekend. Assumed causes were fog, speeding, racing, and backing out of a driveway which caused a biker to lose his life. To top it off, 2 mothers pulled over to let their teen daughters out to fight each other resulting in one being stabbed. Its unbelievable that parents are on the same maturity level as their teenage kids. I grew up in the Bay Area with all the traffic and congestion but would prefer driving there than any place in Sacramento. I've lived up here for almost 2 years now and have noticed generally how drivers behaive and regard others on the road, not all but most. Turn signals rarely get used, stops signs are yield signs, making lane changes deserves the right of way, right turns on red mean don't stop but speed up to beat the pedestrian, and don't pay attention because the world spins around you. I guess it can be the same wherever you go but out of all the places I've driven in, Sacramento is the only one that makes me feel paranoid that someone is going to run into me.
