Yes, electric does have a place in our world to scale up and help — public transportation, city/state vehicles that stay in a local area, cabs and maybe even trucks at some point. But saying we all need to move in the next decade to electric vehicles? We are not there nor will we be in that time frame. At least let’s answer all these issues honestly and transparently with common sense.
Dear driver
To the hit-and-run driver, my name is Martha and I am 83 years old. I thought you might like to know the damage you did to me. I broke both of my wrists and damaged my shoulder. I’ve had an MRI, but do not know yet if it will require surgery.
I don’t know why you ran away, but I am deeply concerned about one thing. You stopped at Edmond Avenue and you looked right, but you started driving before you looked left. That is why you hit me. To go left would have taken you to the elementary school, which leads me to believe you had a child in the car that you were dropping off at school. Nobody in their right mind would have driven by school traffic if they didn’t have to.
That means you probably had to demand your child lie for you. This could have dramatically shifted your relationship with your child. I want you to read this letter to your child and tell him or her that I forgive you.
