Real Talk, I AM CONVINCED, these new age young folks, tourists etc werent taught this. Shit is rediculous how they just walk right off the sidewalk. I DONT GIVE A SHIT is theres a crosswalk either. I get it, you have a crosswalk, but if my truck hits you , youre all fucked up.
hate pedestrians
Agreed.
I remember growing up being taught to be scanning for cars when approaching a marked crosswalk (without a stop light). I.E. - slow down a bit on foot and give the car a wave to go through, and then safely cross after them.
Nowadays people seemingly approach crosswalks (anywhere) and IMMEDIATELY start crossing in front of cars. No hesitation whatsoever. Casually walking out in front of moving vehicles without the slightest awareness. Or worse distracted by choice.
As my pops said ... be super careful around school / city buses. Kids and people will dart out in front or behind them and immediately cause an issue. Cars that race around buses are asking for trouble.
All this. especially the bolded. DRIVES ME INSANE
Glad i rely solely on public transportation in this city..or let my cousin and his wife do the driving
