A Facebook user, who wished to remain anonymous, shared their thoughts on the platform. The user shared ‘in the light of seeing the recent news of another fatal cycling accident in CT, its been on my mind to make a post about the impatience of CT drivers, especially on the Atlantic Seaboard where so many sports people train, children and families enjoy the area with their pets. The speed on the roads & impatience at traffic lights in particular is getting ridiculous!’
‘A few seconds delay isn’t going to get one ahead any faster but it could be a fatal change in someone’s life’ concluded the user.
