Study: Two Massapequa Roads Among Area's Most Dangerous

Honestly, I think it has less to do with the roads and more to do with the drivers. Just the other day while on the road, I saw at least 3 people "driving" with one hand while holding their cell phones with the other. Infuriated, I drove alongside on of these jerks and honked and honked and honked. Not even a glance, nothing. How reassuring to know that the drivers out there are oblivious to their surroundings. I lived for 30 years in Manhattan, relatively unscathed, thank God. Since I moved back here 6 months ago, I have narrowly escaped certain death behind the wheel at least 10 times, due to dangerous, inconsiderate, reckless drivers. And to think, I can't even smoke outside because I may kill someone with my whiff of diluted second hand smoke. Pleeeeez!

I never see Nassau pd pull anyone over for a cellphone.people are going to keep doing it , because no one ever does anything to stop it from happening. Go past any of the schools in the morning and see how many people are driving while on the phone. Merrick rd is very busy and I just pasted Burns park and all the high school lacrosse players were walking and running across the street, maybe a pedestrian over pass their would be a great idea to build for the children's safety.

I think the cell phone issue is ridiculous. Just one more unneccesary law. Why can people eat drink smoke and do their make-up while driving, but talking on the phone is a problem. I've seen people reading while driving, but talking on the phone is illegal. The problem with our roads is plain and simple, poor drivers.

Susie you flying off the handle and doing that is a clear example of what's wrong with society. You are obviously not a police officer, so worry about your own job. And if you don't have one maybe try taking some anger management classes to work on your road rage. Cross at the cross walks, use common sense, and you'll make it across just fine
