Drivers, it’s difficult to make a right hand turn onto a busy street in the morning. You are looking to your left trying to see your opportunity while slowly inching into the intersection to strike when the time is right. That doesn’t mean you get to ignore pedestrians in your rush to the next red light. Take a look to the right and confirm nobody is walking in front of you. It takes less than 5 seconds and beats the consequences from plowing into someone. —Johnny Walker

peds are sposed to be on the lookout for distracted drivers too you know. if not, they would and do, walk into cars that are parked or even moving. seen this more times than i can count. idiots will walk into a car parked, then look at the driver like he was satan with a hard on. what a fucking useless society this is turning out to be. methinks it is time for a really fucking big rainstorm, again.
Often the ‘ped’ is already way out in the friggiing crosswalk and the car driver has just arrives at the corner ready to turn right, but only looking left to see if there is any traffic coming at them. They have not even scoped out the intersection to see if a human may be in there.
Be sure to make eye contact with a driver before you cross. Safety works both ways.
Vroom vroom, outa my way sucker. I own the road directly in front of my vehicle, enter that space at your own risk.
