Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Sep 21 15:14:16 2016, in response to Re: Fighting the DOT S(BS) on Woodhaven Blvd, posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Sep 20 21:52:16 2016. For the third time, I started making the right turn when after two seconds after the signal changed not one pedestrian started crossing, so I assumed I had the right of way. Once I started turning and was partially blocking the crosswalk, pedestrians started crossing in front of me outside the crosswalk. So by the time I came to a full stop in order not to hit them, I was fully blocking the crosswalk. At that point in time, others started crossing behind my vehicle. After about 10 or 15 seconds when I was stopped and counted 20 people crossing in front of me, they finally allowed me to continue and get out of their way at which time the remainder of the pedestrians crossed normally within the crosswalk.My point was that since they did not start crossing on time and if they allowed me the two seconds to get out of the intersection, they could have crossed normally. But they were too impatient. And most here accuse drivers of being the impatient ones. It just amazes me that not a single one of you will admit I did nothing wrong and that the pedestrians were wrong. And that so many of you say you can't understand what happened or say I keep changing my story which is not true. It also amazes me that this incident that took under one minute has been discussed for a month because you are all trying to make it appear that I am in the wrong. |
