Admittedly, the brunt of student safety cannot fall entirely on the University's shoulders. Students, for their part, must demonstrate more respect for both drivers and their fellow riders.

The actions that need to be taken are simple, but the consequences are high. Student safety is imperiled, teetering perilously on a thin white line.
