While stopped at a stop light I witnessed a bus doing a left hand turn on September 30 around 2:30 in the afternoon. The bus driver almost hit a pedestrian trying to cross…missed him by a hair. It would have taken him two seconds of his time to let the pedestrian cross. I hope if you are the driver and you happen to read this, please take the time to stop, OK? —Anonymous is Watching

Welcome to Dartmouth?
Yeah, motorists around here are especially unkind to those not using four wheels. Watch them speed past a bike to get to the line up at a red light, only to be passed by that same bike. Pedestrians are fair game if they are speeding and they don’t walk fast enough in the cross walks.
They spend a LOT of money on their vehicles – monthly payments, insurance, gas, maintenance, repairs, stinky pine tree air fresheners… their sense of entitlement (to Hell with the laws) is strong.
Bus drivers have a heightened sense of entitlement and simply because it’s “no feather-duster” they’re driving.
I suggest cyclists and pedestrians carry a retractable baton.
A retractable baton? Lol, why not just arm.yourself with a rubber dick.
