I've held back as long as I could. This is about the road between the Fort Smith bridge and Roland.
How many people are tired of their cars being destroyed due to the poor state of this highway? Every time you go over a bridge on this highway it throws your car sideways and knocks your front end out of alignment. The last time I checked, we all pay taxes for our roads to be safe, so why are we having to pay twice by paying our taxes and having our front end alignments repaired constantly.
Now let's look at the problem of speeding between Roland and Moffett. They have taken the Moffett police off this highway and now it's a speedway. What part of illegal do you not understand? When you speed or break the law you get pulled over and get a ticket.
I would like to stand up for the police departments of Roland and Moffett for doing your job. I've lived here all my life and have never been pulled over between Roland and Moffett, so all you people who break the law expect to be pulled over, be accountable for your actions and don't try to place the blame on the police department. Wake up America. This is why we have laws.
I myself would like to hear from folks out there who are tired of your car being beat up and being run over by people doing 80-plus miles per hour. If you're tired of this, let's let our politicians know. I would like to start this petition here; all you have to do is e-mail me at clemonsfamilyof5@sbcglobal.net.
What is it going to take someone being killed before we have anything done about this problem? Place the Moffett police back on this road so we have some kind of law and order. It's out of control!
