I drive US12 daily. The rate at which traffic fails to yield a log the stretch from US31 all the way east of Edwardsburg is stupid. The rate at which impatient drivers that can’t get to places on time occur is frustrating. They forget some of us have children in the car by the time they get out of work. I know if someone kills one of my kids due to their negligence, I’ll be going to prison also.
