Guy confessed to having consumed "a little" alcohol earlier in the day, being prescribed pain medication and being partially blind in his left eye, - groiny Jul 19, 09:17 1
- but he feels real bad, according to his lawyer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:19
ugh, that's horrible. why can't people cross the road in a crosswalk? Is it that difficult? A pedestrian got hit last week out here. -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 09:04 13
- people are legitimately confused about the rules here. They'll just dart out anywhere and assume people will stop. - Reagen Jul 19, 09:14 5
  - I personally cross streets at places other then a streetlight or crosswalk but never would with one kid let alone three. - Walt_Disney Jul 19, 09:18 1
    - yeah, I would take the risk for me but not with kids. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:19
  - that happens quite a bit here, but it's partly due to lack of crosswalks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:14 2
    - people mistake courtesy for safety. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 09:16 1
      - absolutely. I don't stop for peds outside of crosswalks, because other drivers might not stop. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:17
- You don't think "attempting to cross at the intersection" means in the crosswalk? -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:13 2
  - she was convicted of "crossing roadway elsewhere than at crosswalk " -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:14
  - Nevermind, just saw the "other than the crosswalk." Weird. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:14
- and how does that dude have a license after the first hit and run? so sad -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 09:05 3
  - apparently it was on the same day. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:09 2
    - No, he was convicted of two hit-and-runs on the same day in 1997. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:12 1
      - oh, I see. wow. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:13
This seems to be getting around. I got it sent to me this morning but it was so tragic I opted not to post it. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Jul 19, 09:02
