You can only save the pedestrians through if you have enough time to stop for them.

Your fourth sentence makes no sense. One started walking (actually running) after I entered the crosswalk. Onl after I came to a complete stop did the others follow him. I do not see how I had room to go without interfering with anyone. If that had been the case there would have been no problem and I never would have posted the incident.

It is irrelevent if I waited at the stop line or the crossroads,d threshold. Terrapin believes as I do that in this case since no one has their foot in the gutter to cross, was there any reason to stop again after 25 feet or so after the stop line.

It makes perfect sense. Your mind however is so closed you cannot envision any situation where a pedestrian can be wrong and a motorist right because in your mind, the opposite is always true. I truly feel sorry for your handicap.

Then what was the reason why they just didn't let me get out of their way? Apparently there weren't any cars behind me also turning, because as soon as I cleared the crosswalk the remainder of pedestrians crossed normally within the crosswalk.

1. Obviously. I would never drive so fast that I am unable to stop.

2. If you had not waited two seconds at the stop line, you'd have been at the crosswalk two seconds earlier and before the runner interfered with your progress.

I also knew many people who just read Sheepsheadbites and never made a comment. What would give you the idea that everyone who reads something comments? That is so far from the truth.

On NYTF where they show the number of views, my last thread I start had 101 views and not a single comment. Most people who read and don't reply agree with the writer, shrug their shoulders and move on.

If you wait at the stop line, then you have to wait for enough of a gap in pedestrians to go all the way from the stop line to the completion of your turn. That requires a bigger gap and also reduces visibility of the road you are turning onto.

If you move up to the crosswalk threshold, you only have to worry about a gap large enough for you to get through the crosswalk and can already see where you are going up ahead after the turn.

I would think you would be telling me that because that is the only legal alternative to what I did do which was wait two seconds, then proceed at 10 mph until I passed the crosswalk. YOU STATED THAT I WAS WRONG IN DOING THAT.

So when I present you with the only legal alternative, you claim I shouldn't have done that either. But you never explain WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE ACCORDING TO YOU. All you do is say I every alternative was wrong.

So quit beating around the bush and state how you would have handled the situation.

I did exactly as you stated except I did it two seconds later which had no outcome on when pedestrians started crossing. And I spider slow down and stop when. Saw the pedestrian in danger. SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO TURN IN MY LICENSE.

I was driving at ten mph and still it was not possible to stop before the far edge of the crosswalk. So are you now saying 10 mph was too fast? First you said I should have been driving faster so as not to give pedestrians the chance to cross. YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. So make up your mind. Was I driving too fast or too slow?

The only way for me to stop before the far edge of the crosswalk to allow pedestrians to cross within the crosswalk is if I proceeded at 5 mph. Is that the speed I should have been traveling?

You are the one without reading comprehension. Because turning immediately or turning after two seconds, did not change the fact that all the pedestrians were still on the sidewalk. And not giving them those two seconds to start walking would have meant I would be cutting them off if they wanted to cross although they still were on the sidewalk.

Sorry. Nothing changed. Saying the person started crossing without mentioning that he was running does not change the fact that he started crossing.

And why was it unsafe for them to do so?

It was because they DID NOT START CROSSING WHEN THE SIGNAL CHANGED.

I gave them two extra seconds, which Terrapin says was wrong, because I was being nice.

So when they did not begin to cross even after two seconds, THEY FORFEITED THEIR RIGHT OF WAY since they were not in the gutter as Stephen Bauman pointed out.

What in the world are you talking about saying I didn't clear the intersection. Of course I did after the 20 people crossed and someone then gave me the opportunity to because he had a head on his shoulders.

And you are now saying there is no difference between crossing within and outside the crosswalk?

Of course there is. There is a world of difference. One us legal and the other is not.

And Stephen said nothing of the sort to dispute that.

I was waiting at the green light for a VERY SPECIFIC REASON. To see if anyone wanted to cross the street.

It was prudent and safe and I was not being inconsiderate. If I was being inconsiderate, the cars behind me would have blown their horns. The fact that no one did proves they knew the reason why I was waiting and that they agreed with me.

You say 1.3 seconds. 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.

I see your point. But my visibility was not hindered at the stop line since I had my head turned and was perfectly able to see if anyone had stepped into the gutter or not.

And since no one had started crossing, there was no gap to worry about.

Ha ha. I am correct. You are WRONG.

This is what Page 48 of the NYS Drivers Manual states:

"RIGHT TURN:
As you prepare to turn, get as far to the right as possible. Do not make wide, sweeping turns. Unless signs direct you to do otherwise, turn into the right lane of the road you enter."

So making a wide right turn as you suggest, (which may not be illegal) is unadvisable.

So I have been doing it correctly all these years and you have been doing it wrong.

The frequent lane changes are only dangerous when the lane changer causes someone else to stop short or otherwise try to compensate. It's perfectly fine if it's done with adequate clearance.

As for accelerating to a red light, it is usually stupid, but it could be useful.

As for you stopping for the "runner," in order to put this to rest, yes, you were right for stopping where you did and not injuring anybody and the runner was an idiot. But you're not blameless.

Wrong. It's like I said. Not like you said. You clearly don't understand how the internet works. Which is not surprising, considering how old and confused you are.

The people on NYCTF apparently think some guy who was majorly wrong about the R-179s is a God. So using them does not help your case.

You're an idiot. My post was very clear except that an "if" came out as an "of". You successfully totally screwed up your reading comprehension.

No, the discussion from the beginning was not about someone running. You added that recently, which entirely changes the story. We're talking about a ped walking off the curb from a spot adjacent to the crosswalk and suddenly being in front of your car in two seconds.
