In my town and Im sure in every town peds crossing the highway have the right of way. Well anyway one day when I got off of work I was walking and had to cross the highway. And as no cars were coming one way and some coming the oppisite direction, aways on down the highway. So I started crossing and as everyone saw me crossing in the left lane. As I started crossing the last half of the highway a person in the right lane came speeding by and If I had not stepped back quickly I would have gotten ran over.
Goes to show no one gives any regards to others. It has also happend more than once.

people are so stupid sometimes
