No driving in Davie for me
Even though I've heard great things about it, I will probably not ever take my son to the Young at Art Museum.
And I might not go back to Flamingo Gardens.
Both of these attractions are in the town of Davie, which recently decided it's going to charge people who are in car crashes requiring emergency response. I'm not talking about a $10 fine -- it's more like $800, according to the news.
Let's say I'm even just driving through Davie to get to another area. Someone rear-ends me. An ambulance is dispatched because the crash looked bad and a witness called it in on her cell phone. But the other driver and I are thankfully OK. The police come to write up a report.
Am I going to get fined $800? Just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Even if a person does cause a crash, just knowing s/he could be fined for bringing out the police, fire department or an ambulance, don't you think that will encourage more hit and runs?
I hardly see how this is fair or a good idea.
So, Davie, just know I'm going to be avoiding you and any businesses in your un-fair city. I can't afford to visit your town.

eeesh that seems odd!
I find that completely ridiculous!
That is one of the most ridiculous things I have EVER heard! How on Earth did they pass that? Just think of the poor people who don't know and are passing through the town.

Good for you, Holly. I am leaving you something in my Tuesday post.
That is downright SAD with 2 dashes of dumb!
1. I LOVE your header!
2. Seriously! This could come back to bite them.
3. You stopped by for my SITS day at The Journey a while back, and I'm still wandering about returning the visits. All of the amazing blogs have been too interesting to hurry through, but I did want to say thanks!
I'm back....Just had to tell you that I got the video today! THANKS SO MUCH! Can't wait to play it for my little one! :) Looks so cute!

Seriously? Wow! That sounds pretty absurd. I hope it doesn't backfire and cause people to hesitate calling for help in the long run :(
I have to call my friend who lives near Davie.
Unbelievable.
My college campus is in Davie. Grr.
Thankfully, I don't have to go out there all that often.
I think they only fine the at-fault driver, for what it's worth.....
