weegegirl 2 #30 June 21, 2006 True dat! I don't jaywalk (often) - I'm not a complete angel, but I hear yah. In this case however, there was a sidewalk - no light, no crosswalk, no nothing. I looked for traffic. The guy did not have his blinker on. I thought it was safe so I kept going. I was also already crossing when he turned in front of me. But I see your point. Not to mention, drivers should be pretty heads up. This was right near a major bike path, and there are tons of joggers and bikers everywhere that time of morning. Damn! That must have sucked getting hit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #37 June 21, 2006 Sounds like you were safe this morning and that you are in general; I just think that pepole who *do* bitch out drivers who don't pay attention and still jaywalk all the damn time are hypocrites. Bottom line, people are harder to see than other cars, especially if you're on your cell phone or changing your CD or any host of other distractions. As AggieDave pointed out, motorcyclists have this problem, bicyclists also have this problem, and pedestrians certainly have this problem. What ends up being necessary is we have to be more "defensive" than anything. I used to teach defensive driving courses in college, and I try to use those techniques when I drive, but they also apply really well to being on the roadways but not in a car. So, in your situation, defensive techniques would include ... not making any assumptions because he didn't have a blinker on, and making eye contact with the driver before you moved. The latter one I think is really useful - I do that a LOT when I'm entering intersections as a pedestrian - if I don't see that they see me, I don't go. It's not perfect (wouldn't have helped at all in my situation) but sometimes it does help. It's kind of a change in mindset from "not my fault" to "could I have prevented it." Doesn't mean you shouldn't still get completely pissed off at the guy!!! QuoteDamn! That must have sucked getting hit! Yeah... it hurt a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrangeJumper 0 #45 June 21, 2006 First of all....congrats on day 4 and for keeping up w/ the fitness routine!!!! Secondly, I used to do a lot of road running and had a couple of close calls. I had a similar thing happen to me. I was crossing an intersection and I had the right of way. Well, someone can screaming through the intersection and almost made me a grease spot. I could have only been lucky enough to have the person park close enough for me to reach them. Trust me, the fucker would have though twice before blowing through another intersection.
