Dear pedestrian,
You cannot cross the road against the walk sign and not expect to get hit some day. Stop being a dumbass and clue in that just because you are a pedestrian doesn’t mean you’re invincible. Please don’t bother giving me a dirty look as I slam on my brakes and toot my horn as you as you walk against the sign. Some day someone will run you over in the crosswalk and guess what it won’t be their fault because once again, you crossed when the little orange/red hand was lit.

Yeeaaahhh, it’s always the drivers fault, pedestrians always have the right of way, although it should be the other way around like in Europe.
pedestrians do not have the right of way when a light is used . If they walk/run out into the street against their do not walk hand signal & they get hit…they get a ticket (if they live)
Meh. I always check before doing that. No biggie.
Dear driver, you cannot make a left turn on a green light while a pedestrian is crossing the street. It was less of a “dirty” look and more of a ” what is this crazy asshole doing?” look because the red hand had not finished blinking and my feet left the curb when it was white. Hopefully next time you decide its cool to slam on the gas and honk at someone crossing the street with the right of way, then proceed to serve around them you think about someone else doing the same to someone you love.
I walked recently on a “do not walk” by mistake.. the people in front of me went and I wasn’t paying attention so I just went. Buddy had to slam on his brakes.. I felt badly about it. I’m more careful now. Thanks for not killing me!
Them pesky pedestrians – specially hard to get untangled from under your car !!! Personally – i just drive over a couple curbs to get them dislodged . Mind you thou – I drive a large truck – a pedestrian is much smaller and won’t hurt my truck . Thats why i just run them over – no match my truck !!!! But ——— it’s everyones responsibility to be safe in these instances . Don’t be a dummy an run into a street – always check because a pedestrian with the right of way under a car busted up to fuck , is still a busted up to fuck pedestrian . Oh yea with the right of way – i’ll get over my 365.00 dollar ticket , you going to get over your wheelchair your now sitting in ?
just attach one them cattle catchers to the front off your truck voila no more tangled carcassses in your under carriage
