Early Sunday morning, a 37-year-old woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver while crossing the street at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 75th Street. And later in the day, five people were injured and a 40-year-old woman was killed by an elderly SUV driver outside of a church in Gravesend, who at least had the good sense to remain on the scene.

With these two weekend incidents, along with general concern over the number of auto/pedestrian accidents in the area, I would like to offer crazy drivers three simple tips to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities in our community.
- STOP F****** RUNNING OVER PEOPLE.
- IF you just can’t help yourself, then for God’s sake, DO NOT DRIVE AWAY BEFORE THE COPS ARRIVE. Because hit-and-run drivers deserve the death penalty.
- And lastly, STOP F****** RUNNING OVER PEOPLE.
