On three different occasions in Medi...Common Sense<br /><br />On three different occasions in Media in the last two months, I entered the pedestrian crossing at lights, only to have cars almost hit me. In all three cases, the drivers were on cell phones or texting, and in all three cases, they saw me at the last minute and jammed on their brakes (obviously you say). All three times, I was crossing on green, and all three times the drivers were coming from the opposite direction. You would think that even drivers ignorant enough to use their phone or text, would at least be smart enough to know that certain maneuvers require a driver's full attention. apparently, that is not the case. It is really sad that the government has to pass laws enforcing "common sense," but that is where we have evolved. <br />In all three of my experiences, I stopped in the crosswalk, jumped up and down and screamed, "PAY ATTENTION" at the top of my lungs, almost scaring the ignorant drivers to death. Unfortunately, one of these days they won't look up, and it will be up to my decedents to scream.<br /><br />DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405483193735100924noreply@blogger.com
