Rant for Jasmine on asshole drivers with no regard for pedestrians:
I don't know what it is with certain drivers who think that they own the road, and can drive like a bat out of hell. I'd like to think that the majority of drivers watch out for hazards on the road, pedestrians, animals, and all of that. But sometimes, I'm not so sure. Take the time when I was crossing the street on MY GREEN LIGHT and almost got killed! There was this motorist in a white car who apparently couldn't wait an extra few seconds for me to get out of his way before he made a turn. Yes, I know I walk more slowly than others... but the dipwad almost ran me over, and didn't care about it! It wasn't a case of how I should've been more careful, either. I did look both ways before crossing, you know.
I swear, the drivers who don't look before proceeding on their merry way should be forced to take some sort of remedial training, and have their license revoked after another offense. Now, if you cross in the middle of a busy street when there's a crosswalk 10 feet away, that's your own fault. (even if you want to catch a bus) Yeah, I've done this before WHEN THE STREET WASN'T BUSY AS HELL! Sure, you have to learn to pick and choose your time to do this... but combine that with drivers who don't care about others on the road (especially all the legitimate pedestrians), and you have a lethal combination!
Certain drivers seem to have NO regard for pedestrians, children, animals, or obstructions on the road! I've seen them change lanes very quickly, seemingly without regard for the fact that there are a zillion other CARS on the road and IN THEIR WAY! Come to think of it, perhaps it's like a little game to them... "If I dodge this many cars in my way, I'll be at my destination two seconds sooner... it's all about shaving the time off my commute, baby!" Driving is NOT a GAME. You should learn to be more careful... it won't really kill you to wait an extra few seconds for someone to cross the road / get out of your way before you turn! (and if you have a medical emergency, I'd hope you don't choose the busiest roads to get to the hospital or wherever it is you're going!)
