And the alarms in the cars stop after a while when the belt is not buckled. Maybe they should devise a way to not let the engines start if the belts are not fastened.
It annoys me very much that our tax dollars are spent on "Click it or Ticket" campaigns.…Read More Do we not all KNOW to fasten our seatbelts? Is there not a dinging alarm and flashing light on ALL cars these days when you don't put on your seatbelt? Why aren't we focusing on campaigns that will make a difference? For example, "If it drives, pull it to the side" for fender benders on the freeway. Or remind people that it's OK to turn RIGHT ON RED.

The following is the press release from MPD:
On 05-21-13, at 3:27 AM, the Murrieta Police Department received a call of a water-main break in the area of California Oaks Road and Monroe Avenue. Murrieta Police and Murrieta Fire Department initially responded to the scene and discovered a large sinkhole in the westbound lanes of California Oaks Road just west of Jackson Avenue. The sinkhole was approximately 4 feet deep and about 20 feet across. The hydraulic pressure from the water-main break appears to have created this sinkhole and damaged all the westbound lanes of California Oaks from approximately Jackson to Monroe. As a result, the westbound lanes of California Oaks between Jackson and Monroe will be closed for repair until further notice. Rancho Water Officials estimate that these repairs will take approximately one week to complete. When traveling in this area please expect delays and plan an alternate route in order to arrive at your destination on time.

Any help would be appreciated.
