In recent days we have published a number of stories on car accidents, the sentencing of a driver in a pedestrian’s death as well as an accident in which a cyclist was injured badly enough to require medevac transport to Stony Brook Medical Center.
So it seems fitting this week, as spring settles in and people head outdoors, to remind drivers to be cautious and to understand that they share the road and don’t own it. You might be irritated that the line of bike riders along the shoulder slows you down for a few seconds, but they have every right to share the road, which all of our tax dollars helped pay for.
