If you got hurt

I wouldn't have gotten in trouble.

So, I was driving around town the other night, cooling off from how mad I was. I was driving down a main road, just toodling along.

All of a sudden, I see right in front of my car, a couple of kids on bikes. The had separated barely enough for my car to get through, as they took up both lanes. All dark clothes. No reflectors on their bikes.

I barely missed two of them, as they left me no room.

As I drove between the two, I honked my horn.

Omg! What is your problem? You are taking up both lanes on a main road, at night with dark clothes on and no reflectors on your bikes. You were lucky that I was sober and an excellent manvuerist. Otherwise, you would have been hit, in trouble for not following the law, and paying for damages on my car.

Maybe you could've came to a crawl and honked instead of manuevering between them and then honking? Just a thought since you did say you were mad and cooling off. Just you know, avoid what can be avoided. I know how it is when things piss you off and trying to go somewhere to cool off. I've reacted in similar fashions then came to realize later that whatever I displaced my anger onto wasn't really worth the effort and energy.

There was an accident in my city last night, a pedestrian hit by a car around 10PM at night. Pedestrian was wearing dark clothes, and depending on where exactly on Smythe street it was, it can be very dark. (Once you get past Crappy Tire, it's all residential). Police have announced they are NOT pressing charges against the driver.

Willis, it was a last second thing and I did the first thing that came to mind and that was to get away from them, as putting on my brakes wouldn't have been a good idea. It was a 45 mph and I was going a little less than 50.

Yeah... I wouldn't have been able to slow down in time.

The other morning, I was driving my boyfriend back home, and right before getting out of the city, we were going down a main road where the speed limit is 35 and there's a roundabout......well you guessed it, there was some Yuppie scum out for a Saturday morning tootle IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, thinking he's just like the cars on the road and he will ride in the same lane as them.....but of course he couldn't pedal at 35 mph.....barely even 15 mph.....just super fantastic fun!!! He got lots of honks and I'm sure deep down we all wanted to send him airborn and out of the way.
