Off-road vehicles are not the only problem

Editor:
I don’t own an off-road vehicle (ORV) or a bicycle, but before fingers are pointed everyone should look at the complete picture.
Speaking of pictures, look at page 6 (photo of cyclists) in the Sept. 4 edition of The Echo. I saw a really close call driving up the hill from Glen Huron. A woman, in the middle of the road, as in the picture, was approaching the top of the hill and a car came over the top. It’s a blind crest. The only thing that saved her was that the driver was going slow and managed to veer over in time.
Check the other two cyclists side by side. I saw two incidents on Fairgrounds Rd. last week where vehicles had to take evasive action because cyclists were side by side.
There’s a sign south of County Road 9 warning of visibility issues. The saddest was the woman wobbling along trying to text!
ORVs have been seen ignoring traffic signs or crossing main roads without stopping. I guess they figure it’s more important to keep up with their friends than avoid causing an accident. There are speed limits on the trails for everyone’s safety. It wouldn’t hurt to slow down.
I hike and snowshoe in the county forests and don’t like meeting dogs off leash or picking up water bottles, Kleenex , plastic bags, etc.
Maybe we should all clean up our own act first.
