jaywalkers and pedestrian crossings

[Pete_G]

If it wasn’t for ABS and polarized sunglasses natural selection would have finally had its way with one of you bastards tonight. You’ve really been testing me this year.

What part of the situation made you think crossing the intersection was a good idea? The flashing sign that said don’t walk? The green light I had as I approached the intersection? The fact I was dealing with the setting sun in my eyes? The way you were hiding behind that truck taking a left? Don’t worry, I love nearly getting rear-ended and screeching to a halt to avoid killing you. Go for it. Cross the intersection. Nobody cares. Yes, it’s just a small VW going down the road but I guarantee if I hit you I’m going to win.

Other then the guilt from doing bodily harm or killing you and obvious potential legal consequences I really just want to hit one of you. Maybe you and people like you would learn a lesson and think twice in the future and it would help stop the plague of jaywalkers and people that can’t read that I swear gets worse every week around here.

While I’m at it, people who stand at a pedestrian crossing, make me stop both in the name of doing the right thing and the law, and then wave me on since they are apparently just loitering there, also deserve to be run over. You’re a waste of brake pads and expensive gasoline.
