I said it would take somewhere between one and two seconds for me to cross the crosswalk by car. That means if someone stepped off the curb within the crosswalk after I started accelerating, it would have been impossible for me to stop to give them the right of way. That is why no one stepped off the sidewalk within the crosswalk.That's why the pedestrian who started to cross, first went around the other pedestrians to be outside the crosswalk when he started running. He knew that was his only chance to beat me. Why he felt he had to beat me is beyond me. He could and should have waited the two seconds for me to pass and none of this would have happened. It is the same type of stupidity that drivers who accelerate when the see a red signal instead of coasting to a stop. They gain nothing. Or aggressive drivers who change lanes five tines in ten seconds just pass two cars. What is their hurry? They jeopardize safety (theirs and those around them) for no good reason. I thank you for sympathizing. You are the only one. |
