I’m from england, so forgive me but I’ve lived in the US 9 months now in the Seattle area and wow, drivers here suck for pedestrians lol They don’t look where they’re going, they turn right straight into you, they drive across pedestrian crossings, they hoot you, they drive all over the curb when the road is like 50 feet wide, they’re on their phones, THEY DRIVE THROUGH PEOPLE crossing a cross-walks,
BELLEVUE MALL, man… 15 people crossing, and this lady in a porsche, just drives through them on her phone… she obviously felt important And then, on a day without a single car insight, I cross 2 lanes of empty road, and some cop wants to give me a ticket? I, like no one else, am aware of my surroundings… Yet people run red lights with cop bikes sitting there, they speed, the cops cut me up on pedestrian crossings – even they are texting whilst driving! this town is crooked man
just wanted to add, that i can understand a dash through traffic being considered jay walking, especially if other vehiles have to anticipate it and slow down, but in an empty section?
oh and my gf was hit by a guy not looking coming out of wendy’s lol
