I have been a pedestrian many times before, and will be again.
When I am clearly jaywalking, I try hard not to get in the way of traffic.
I know I'm not supposed to be in the middle of the road, so if a car is coming, I move.
Soooo, when I see someone taking a leisurely stroll through the middle of the street, I take it upon myself to give them a bit of a scare to get their butt in gear. I don't slow down. If you are in the middle of the street illegally- watch out, because I will hit you. Once I get close enough though, I always slow down, because even if I'm angry, I don't have it in me to hurt someone. Usually they don't seem to care that they almost got hit by a car. They don't even try to hurry along. But hopefully, I'm getting across to some people that they are putting themselves in a dangerous position, and some drivers in annoying positions.
That being said- to the lady crossing Thomas St. sorry I almost hit you for real.
I think you taught me a lesson about my lesson.
