I am quiet driver. I have horror stories every single day with pedestrians who cross the street in the wrong spots, giving you 0 secs to react. I cannot tell how many guys could I be killed them because they've crossed the street texting and using headphones. Pedestrians go really in distracted mode, that's why when I approach some areas, I go really paranoid and try to foresee anything.
- algaeontoast 7y agoIt's even worse when you're on a bike and this happens. The number of times I've yelled at people who open doors or just meander into the bike lane and hit them or nearly hit them because they had headphones in is one too many...
- meerita 7y agoI don't use a bike, but I comute on my escooter and it's insane the amount of people who uses the bike lane for whatever reason is. It's so insane. I had 3 accidents in the last 3 months made by pedestrians and 1 motorcycle woman who did it everything wrong.
- algaeontoast 7y agoYES! The number of times I was almost hit by gas motor-scooters in the lane during traffic (while commuting with an electric scooter) was insane. I was mostly surprised by how slow most people ride their bikes. A meager 17mph even downhill on a dinky electric scooter is faster than most people ride their bikes, joggers also like to run in the bike lane at times...
