LETTERS WILD TEENS CAUSE ROAD DEATHS.

After reading your Nov. 3 article about vehicle deaths in the Santa Clarita Valley, I was quite upset by the fact that the powers that be in Santa Clarita were spending so much time and money on searching for reasons why there were so many tragic accidents here.

I must tell you that they need not look at timing of signal lights, the way streets are laid out or any other reason except that Santa Clarita are so spoiled with their fancy, high-performance, souped-up vehicles that they think they own the road and drive erra unsafe speeds.

Rather than wasting all their time and energy on trying to find reasons the city has failed, they just need to put more sheriff's road to slow these kids down. Every single day, they pass me at extremely high speeds, make unsafe lane changes and tailgate.

Supervisor Mike Antonovich, what are your priorities? Re ``Rally set to save old oak'' in the Daily News on Nov. 1: I really wond set priorities.

We live on an extremely busy street in a residential neighborhood and have been trying to get stop signs installed for months. On Halloween, with hundreds of kids out on the streets, we still had cars exceeding the posted speed limits.

Yet I wake up this morning to see our supervisor concerned about an oak tree. Mr. Antonovich, what is more important: spending hu thousands of dollars to save a tree or saving the lives of our young child?
