Sorry about the language in my title but
No, not really that bad just a quick little sighting...I stopped at the grocery store and was driving up the lane that goes across the front of the store to turn into the parking lot, and 2 women presumably walking back to their car were ambling down the middle of my lane...they clearly saw me coming (they weren't 15 feet away), but did they move over? NO! of course not. I know the pedestrian has the right of way, but that's so you can CROSS the street, not walk down the middle of it!
On another note, I almost got in an accident on my way to work because some guy came through the cross "street" that connects 2 streets on either side of the train tracks and didn't bother looking to see if anyone was coming before turning (there's no stop sign or anything). Slammed on the brakes, he was halfway across the road, and THEN he thinks to look back the other way to make sure no one is coming. Grr.
