So, yesterday, while waiting for my mom to come out of her job, I noticed a regular-looking guy crossing the road back and forth. When my mom came out and got in the car, I told her about it and pointed my finger at the guy on the other side of the street. I stated that I thought he was drunk. Today, she learned that it was an undercover cop because of problems with vehicles not stopping for pedestrians. A couple weeks ago, a woman got hit at that intersection and is now being hospitalized because of broken bones and other bad injuries. On one of his crossings yesterday, he kind of stepped out in front of car, and the car had to swerve to avoid him. Well, there was a cop car a little further up, and he got pulled over.
I never cross a street before making damn sure it' s safe to do so. I know the law is on my side, but it won' t do me any good if I wind up dead, or worse. There' s a street cross with no traffic lights right up my street, at least two people died here for crossing without looking. Somehow I think that particular law has both unforeseen and unfortunate consequences.
Yeah, seriously. You don't have any rights after you're dead, and that means somebody could bring you back to life without your consent.
He's Miles Mother****ing Edgeworth. He can point whatever appendage he wants at whatever person he wants.
I believe it's wrong for people just to step out in the road without looking and thinking "the cars HAVE to stop, it's the law!" because the driver could have to stop dangerously and cause a mass accident on the road (it is possible). However, cars need to also be wary of pedestrains. It's a relationship that needs care from both sides >:3 like most relationships.
Small town pedestrians are crazy, in my experience, at least people in Helsinki and Chicago look around before ducking into traffic >.>
