I absolutely scared the crap out of some girl on the way home from work tonight.
I was crossing the street by Cafe Brucke, and there were several cars lined up on Windsor waiting to make a left onto Prospect. I started across Windsor as the first car made his turn — and just as I got to the halfway point the second car was going to blow through the stop sign and follow him. She had to stop when she saw the traffic coming from her right, but she never even glanced to the left. Had I not stopped she would have plowed right through me.
So as I’m standing there, I decided to knock on her driver-side window. Were she not belted in, I think she would have jumped through the roof. Never saw me until that point. I gave her a “WTF?!” shrug and made my way around the back of the car.
Please keep your eyes open when you’re driving. You’re not on a walled-off go-kart track, there are actually things going on around you.
