To A Percentage of The Drivers,
This is not a bitchy pedestrian complaint. This is a gentle reminder of the law.
In Seattle, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing from corner to corner. Not to mention in a painted crosswalk. If you see one waiting and there are cars behind you, please stop. If one is crossing in front of you with such timing that you won't even have to stop, just slow down for 4 seconds, please do not maintain consistent speed and instead flash your lights and honk your horn. It takes about as much effort to put your foot on the brake as it does to put your hand on the horn.
To the driver who threatened my life yesterday: Someday it might be your daughter.
Respectfully yours,
Sonya

Posted by: UnderwearNinja at September 5, 2003 02:54 PMToo many people do not respect self-locomation or their fellow humans these days. They are too busy wondering how they are going to make their car payment and the damn rising gas prices and all the losses their stocks have suffered during this crummy economic slump. Jerks.
