When you drive for a living, especially a bus, where you are pulling in and out of stops, and have to get close to sidewalks, and you see the people carelessly walking in the streets without even looking, not paying attention, or walking dangerously along the curb instead, of on the sidewalk, you kind of turn cold hearted when you hear these things happening. Why? You see this for a living, everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. Pedestrians have come to the notion that they have the right of way at all times, and they love to jaywalk. If I have a green light, and they are on the sidewalk, I start to move, they give me and the other driver the look of , yeah, I dare you to run me over, I am walking here, right now.I do not know the attitude of David's classmate. It is a mother had to lose her son. It is sad society lost someone, who was doing something with himself. But when you drive for a living, and see the risks inattentive pedestrians take, you become kind of cold hearted to the situation. You know it is eventually going to happen. The probability is very high. Alot of motor vehicles on a road + inattentive pedestrians = accident waiting, and going to happen. |
