If these pedestrians would get the hell across the street. Instead of thinking because they have they have right of way that 7000 pound vehicle is stopping.
ReplyDeleteExactly 12:30, it's much easier to stop a 200 lbs body moving 2 mph than a 3000 plus car moving 30 mph. Whoever declared that pedestrians have the right of way on public roads has killed a lot of sheeple.
