My issue is that I don't think they affect those that cause the accidents in the first place. The majority of "roadside memorials" I've seen that I know anything about (ie read about the accident in the local paper or knew someone who knew the victim) involve young people driving fast or intoxicated*. Usually killing or injuring their friends and/ or oncoming traffic.

These people are already breaking laws and advice given by older, wiser heads. Seems like the flowers only speak to those of us sensible enough to value life.

*Please note I am only talking about those that I have knowledge of, and not suggesting that this applies in all cases.
