Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Sep 21 17:43:33 2016, in response to Re: Fighting the DOT S(BS) on Woodhaven Blvd, posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Sep 21 17:15:20 2016. "Such a statement makes it seem like...".I don't see why it does. Everyone did not wait until I "randomly" stopped in the crosswalk. And I do not understand the use of the word "random". Because I did not randomly stop. I stopped for a specific reason so as not to hit the crossing jaywalkers. They started to cross while I was still moving and nowhere did I indicate otherwise so I do not understand your confusion thinking they first started to cross after I stopped. The only ones who did so were the ones who crossed legally after I left the intersection. I also would like to add that I had no problem with those illegally crossing behind my car since they did not affect me. But they affected cars behind me who also might have wanted to bake a right turn by preventing them from reaching the crosswalk threshold insuring no other car would be able to turn right on that signal which wasn't fair to the following cars either. Sorry if you were having trouble picturing this but I have tried to make it as clear as possible. It was the first time that something like this happened to me and I felt the need to mention this because of all the anti-motorist comments and that pedestrians are always correct. But I never envisioned it would turn into such an epoch. But now that I think of it after the law was supposedly explained, perhaps the notion that so many drivers do not give pedestrians the right of way when they supposed to is exaggerated if it is true that a pedestrian first gas to step in the gutter and cutting off a pedestrian from crossing when he still gas both feet planted on the sidewalk is legal. The problem I see with that is if you are already making your turn and then a pedestrian puts his foot in the gutter, it is already too late to stop to let him cross since you cannot step on a dime which is why I think most drivers just continue unless the pedestrian is well in front of him. Thanks at least fir admitting that jaywalkers are wrong. Wonder if the others agree with that. |
