The national sport here for many people is getting pissed and/or stoned out of their tiny brains and playing Death Race 2000 on the nation's highways. (And waterways too, I might add. Can't wait for the Christmas rush to start.)

The more devoted visit the crosses regularly to hang flowers etc on them. And yes, some people have died when cars crashed into them while they were hanging around on the road sticking plastic flowers on their friend's cross.

There's one especially dangerous intersection where no less than fifty crosses have been placed. I presume that some of these crashes were of people driving by, wondering what all the crosses were about, and then getting smashed by or slamming into another car. I think all the white cross factories make a killing off of this.
