Have you ever pulled up to a traffic intersection and you see a pedestrian approaching the same intersection. You’ve got momentum and you’re so close that you’d never expect the pedestrian to actually step out and cross the street right in front of you? But then, without even looking left or right or up from their cell phone, they just plod right out there in front of you. If you’re not paying close attention, you would be lubing your vehicle with pedestrian.
I’ve seen this an awful lot these days, and that’s what I’m thinking are really silly people who that that pedestrians “have the right of way.”
It really baffles my mind at how stupid some people can act in that they keep walking into the street without even breaking their stride. What if someone is being “super self-important” and they’re busy on their cell phone yakking or texting? Are you aware that a car moving at 35 mph is covering about 51 feet a second? That is a lot of territory covered by a car that’s operated by someone not looking! And you’re willing to step out there? Awesome! (That was snark.)
