Imagine a 4 way stop intersection with parallel parking. Well since I had to stop anyway I waved pedestrians on. They did their famous diagonal slow stroll that they all do, rather than cross where the cross walk tells them to. And do they ever cross the street? No. Now theyve messed up the 4 way intersection because people have to go out of turn since I cant go. They decided to walk DOWN THE STREET to their car rather than cross and use the sidewalk. I had to slowly follow them until I could ILLEGALLY pass.Bikers are the same way. They think they have a right to the road. And they may, even though they rarely ever obey traffic laws. That lovely "share the road" slogan... ...well, I love how it applies to everyone else but themselves. Have you ever seen a bike rider share the road with you, well other than your own lane? Theyre the biggest and most dangerous road hogs I have ever seen. ANYWAY the reason I bring that up is, on a 6 lane, 45mph road a truck pulled out in front of me like always, and since he was in such a hurry he couldnt find his gas pedal I changed lanes. I was surprised to find a pedestrian WALKING her bike. I was stuck driving 5-10 mph while everyone passed me. At this point I cant change lanes because Im going too slow, and there is too much traffic traveling the speed limit. That and every opening I had gets taken by someone whos stuck behind me. Anyway there was a perfectly good sidewalk that she could walk her bike on, but much like bike routes, no one ever uses them. So I honk at her, and you know what she does? She waves her hand out in a way to tell me that I have enough room to pass her. Apparently she doesnt realize how wide my car is. She also didnt realize how I could have hit her at 40mph, or could care less that someone could have hit me at that speed!My dad used to own my car. He paid for it and his name was on the title (now mine is) but anyway he used to do things like that. It was MY car it was always MY car... ...so when he dented and broke things on MY car, he would say that he didnt have to fix it since he paid for it. I never understood this. I mean if you buy your little girl a doll, and you damage it in some way, wouldnt you fix it? He would. I dont understand why a car was suddenly different. Its still a gift, its still a toy, its still MINE.</blockquote>
