Feeling the pain of seeing repeated problems in our community is something many of us can relate to. In Lewiston, Auburn and Portland, ME, we want to protect our community, maintain peace, and uphold the principles of the place that has welcomed us. We want change to be real and lasting, with people acting responsibly, out of respect for God and others.

Safe driving is a cornerstone of community safety and harmony. To achieve this, individuals without a driver's license must refrain from driving. This is not just a legal requirement; it is a moral one, essential for the safety of everyone on the roads.

For those holding only a learner's permit, it is imperative to drive only when accompanied by a licensed driver with at least two years of experience. Such precautions ensure new drivers gain exposure and build confidence under the guidance of seasoned drivers, reducing the risk of accidents.

Respecting stop signs and all traffic laws cannot be overemphasized. They exist not to inconvenience, but to protect. Every road user must commit to following these laws to prevent chaos and ensure road safety for everyone.

Living in peace with our neighbors extends beyond the home; it means not creating problems on the roads as well. Driving responsibly embodies living in peace by reducing stress, preventing road rage, and reducing road incidents.

Leaving behind a life of drinking and troubles, particularly when associated with driving, is crucial. Alcohol impairs judgment and reaction times, making roads unsafe for everyone. Embracing a life of example, dignity, and responsibility means saying no to impaired driving and yes to community safety.

We urge everyone in our beloved community to adhere to these principles ensuring safety, peace, and the dignity of Lewiston. Support this petition for a committed reflection of these values and protect the place we all proudly call home.

Sign this petition to make our roads safer and our community stronger. Together, let's foster an environment of respect and responsibility in Lewiston, ensuring a harmonious, peaceful life for all its residents.
