On Thursday of this week, I was at a stop sign in downtown Dickinson getting ready to make a right turn onto Villard Street and drive west, when two motorcycles went by going 80 mph to 100 mph travelling east.
I came to a complete stop, as did one westbound car on Villard Street, one eastbound car on Villard Street, one truck that was just entering Villard Street from the south, and one woman walking her dog. We all couldn’t believe it, and we all stopped expecting there to be some kind of a crash.
I could see that the two motorcycles slowed down some when they got to the intersection at 10th Avenue East. There was no crash, this time.
I don’t see how people who ride motorcycles like this, live for even one week, or how they even still exist. I sincerely believe that they don’t need to exist, and that the World would be a much better place without them.
The 25 mph to 35 mph section of Villard Street through downtown Dickinson is probably the most dangerous place to drive 80 mph to 100 mph. Vehicles driving on Villard Street or entering Villard Street do not expect anyone to be driving this fast, and they couldn’t see or react to a motorcycle going this fast anyway.
It’s not a very good thing to have someone who is suicidal driving around Dickinson, but it is much worse that they could likely kill, cripple, or severely injure someone else who was just merely going to the grocery store or driving home from work to be with their family.
The Police in Dickinson would be able to do very little in the moment of watching a motorcycle go this fast past them, they would be unable to catch up to them. All they could do would be to try to identify the helmet of the rider, his jacket, the color of the motorcycle, and anything unusual about the faring, gas tank, or something else. Then, contact other Dickinson Police and Highway Patrol to see where the motorcycle goes or turns off.
In the neighborhood where I live downtown, there is a house down the street where some of these reckless drivers originate. Sometimes they take four wheelers out and drive about 50 mph on the 25 mph streets. Again, they never seem to get caught by the Dickinson Police. I don’t even know how the Dickinson Police could catch up to them in this residential area.
Tonight, at the apartment building where I live in downtown Dickinson, there was something like a small red Nissan, Mitsubishi, or Hyundai that has been lowered and has a belled-out exhaust, that went for a high speed drive around the neighborhood. It drove about 60 mph for four blocks going north, then four or five blocks west, then five blocks south, then back here. This took about three minutes, and I could hear this car the whole time.
I didn’t know that this car was coming back here, but when they got back into the apartment building parking lot and revved the car engine, I was very angry. I didn’t like listening to this car that was way too loud, and I didn’t like them driving recklessly in this neighborhood. Many of the four way intersections in this neighborhood do not have stop signs because they expect people to be driving slowly and to yield.
If I would have gone down there, because these people are already stupid assholes who I don’t even think should exist or live here, the situation would have escalated to where I was the one who would be arrested by the Police and subsequently be evicted. The Dickinson Police will never ever catch these people driving recklessly through Dickinson, but if I were to do something to them, I would be arrested, be evicted, and lose my job.
In order to not be in a situation like this, I shouldn’t live in a town with so many white trash and criminals, it is certain there will be conflicts.
