Do you think on-the-spot memorials at crash sites and the like could distract drivers, potentially causing more deaths?
There are ever-increasing numbers of places where people leave flowers,
teddy bears, candles, and other things to denote that someone was killed there
in an incident involving one or more vehicles.
I maintain that these ever-more-numerous sites are increasing the chance that
drivers will be distracted and may thereby result in yet more injuries and deaths.
I would like to see all such roadside memorials removed,
and significant fines imposed on anyone who sets up a new one.

Yes, not only do I think on-the-spot memorials at crash sites definitely are a distraction, it is a type of theft of property. Victims' families claim these sites as their own with no purchase, no legal contract...nothing. There is one such memorial site in my neighborhood that the family of a deceased police officer has maintained with balloons, pictures, flowers, etc for at least the past year.....enough is enough.

To the contrary, I think they make a person pause to be more careful when they see what could happen if they don't pay attention.
