I specifically time my pedestrian trips so as to avoid rush hour if possible. Why? Because of the number of times I’ve been almost flattened by a car trying to turn right at a busy intersection and literally not checking for pedestrians before hand. And then they look at me like I’m the asshole for trying to cross the road when I very clearly have the right of way. It’s bleak out here for those of us who use walking as a method of transportation!
We need to see the starter pack for a pedestrian in America. Don’t y’all wave flags or something like that not to be murdered by a car?
Correction: to be murdered by a car anyways, but at least with a flag in hands
Media: They had it coming, look at that flag. They were asking for it. If you didn’t want to get hit by a car, why are you dressed so provocatively?
And when they didn’t carry a flag “they weren’t even carrying a flag and waving it above there head! they where basically asking to be hit.”
