^^ True. Bad drivers of all stripes abound. One day I waited patiently for the light to change, started to cross and all of a sudden a”lady” turning left had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid hitting me. She was rushing to make the turn and was watching oncoming traffic but oblivious to pedestrians. I reported her but she lied to the police and I had no witnesses to back me up. And so it goes!
