Pedestrians in The Crosswalk
November 28, 2011 | Comments Off
It is my experience that cars hit pedestrians at cross walk most often in one of two ways. The first is at the intersection. A driver wants to make a right turn, and to do so is looking to the left for oncoming traffic. Once traffic clears, the driver fails to look left, starts the turn and hits the pedestrian in the crosswalk.

In the last week, since school has been in session, I have had drivers race up to my back bumper and tailgate me from three feet behind, honk at me, yell at me and give me the finger, as he raced around me on the right, all because I was travelling at 25 miles per hour for 2 blocks.
