"Oh I didn't see them officer." "Oh I mistook the gas for the brake." "They came out of nowhere." "I didn't have time to stop." etc. etc. etc. The excuses

"Oh I didn't see them officer." "Oh I mistook the gas for the brake." "They came out of nowhere." "I didn't have time to stop." etc. etc. etc. The excuses for irresponsible dangerous driving behavior are endless. I yelled at someone for not stopping for a mother and stroller in a crosswalk. The driver said she didn't see them. I said that meant they were going too fast. They said no, they weren't, they just couldn't see them. It was impossible to get through to this person that if you didn't see someone in the crosswalk then they were going too fast and not paying enough attention. Simply amazing. I try not to think about it too hard or I'll never leave the house. The approach of the original post, blind spots for motorcycles and bicycles aside, is at least taking responsibility on the part of the driver to change behavior and drive safely. Every "accident" has a cause, somewhere down the line.
