OK folks, enough already! Statistics presently prove we drive our flivvers among drunk drivers, license-suspended drivers and texting drivers. Political polls project we may soon confront recreational-ingesting marijuana drivers! Presently, I’m the auto motoring in the breakdown lanes for safety’s sake.

Given the every-other-day reports of highway deaths, I’m 85 years old trying to get to heaven by doing what comes naturally.

OK, Mainers, please get to the polls. As you vote, get real. Save some lives — yours and mine. Can you give me a lift?
