    In the college town near me, students walk directly in-front of cars and bikes. Nearly hit oblivious pedestrians stepping into the road on multiple occasions while on my bike. Some people put very loud horns on their 2 and 4 wheeled vehicles, which is pretty funny anytime they get used.

      Yeah, my student is forever 8 and a shortie for their age. They were crossing in a crosswalk and the driver was turning right. It’s not the same.

      If you don’t want people stepping into the road then stop putting roads everywhere. They built a road in between my home and work and I hate it, I want to get rid of the road and go back to the good old days.

        BombOmOm was plenty careful as evidence by successfully avoiding collision with an unexpected obstacle.

          I don’t believe there’s such a thing as “careful enough” when people’s lives are at stake. If they were more careful they may have avoided nearly killing someone.
