Those damned "stop for pedestrian" signs have made drivers into super humans. We can see all and read minds. Folks can just stroll out into traffic without a care in the world, don't even to look to see if a car is coming, the sign says so. All the friggin sign does is shift liability to the driver, the ped doesn't even have to look one way much less both. I can't tell you how many times I've locked them up because the strolling dufus didn't even break stride. And then there's the grommet who walks out into the middle of a traffic clusterama and expects everyone to notice. help me...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
