innocent pedestrian gets his clock cleaned

[Urbane Guerrilla]

It's no picnic in a car; I've been turning left with the light, excellent light conditions about eight in the morning, and had some yoyo going the opposite way slalom around my nose. Where was his head, I wonder? He had at least half a block to see me. There's an abbreviation for such people losing situational awareness wayyy on down the block: driving HUA.

T-boned another guy once. We were on the main thoroughfare and he shoots out in front of us from a mall entrance. Totaled his machine; we drove away with our grill stove in and a headlight cell smashed. As he shot out in front of us I had just enough time as my right foot went from accelerator to brake to think, "I don't believe anyone could be so stupid!" Stood on the brakes, hit him going twenty or so, down from thirty-five or forty, right in the soft spot ahead of the driver's side door.
