Letters: Reckless drivers should pay medical bills for people they injure in crashes

K.Wilson27 min ago

What an excellent by James Causey (" A reckless driver struck my uncle. He's 'fortunate' to be alive ," Sept. 22).

He is right. We need to adopt more punitive measures for careless drivers . Personally I feel anyone who is responsible for causing a death due to careless driving deserves to pay for that person's medical expenses even if it means taking $10 per pay period out of one's paycheck.

Juliana Ksicinski, Shorewood

Milwaukee must address reckless driving. My uncle was injured in a car accident.

Get bold or get out of the way. Playing it safe not curbing reckless driving.
