I would have yelled out, "Get off the phone and look up." <br /><br />I might have also used "Finger," which is another method of communication. <br /><br />Good to see you blogging, again.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack Riepe<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-34462831036388607902011-11-17T16:03:36.923-06:002011-11-17T16:03:36.923-06:00In this case I don't think "evil" de...In this case I don't think "evil" describes it. As you wrote at the top of the post. More like criminally stupid.<br /><br />We teach Rider Responsibility.

Bicyclists and pedestrians have given me more scares than drivers since I've been commuting.<br /><br />Having not so long ago been hit by a car while I was inline skating, I'm glad you avoided the same fate while walking. The car ran a red light. Very little I could do to stop it from happening. That said, I definitely approach intersections even more cautiously than I did before. Sort of reminds me of the old Dial soap commercials: "You enter the intersections cautiously, don't you wish everyone did?" Or maybe: "You practice SIPDE, don't you wish everyone did?"<br /><br />Be safe out there. I'm told more pedestrians are killed each year than motorcyclists.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-66836228911445921712011-11-15T15:14:43.195-06:002011-11-15T15:14:43.195-06:00If you had an air horn maybe you could've gott...If you had an air horn maybe you could've gotten her attention. I run into similar problems when on foot as there are a lot of SUVs and pick-ups in this town. Maybe 35-40% of the vehicles....RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
