I watched a women this past Sunday , pushing a stroller with one hand , and dragging a 3 yr old with the other across rt 50 , very dangerous . Today , I watched a girl walk right in front of a car < NOVA campus , Alex. > , I pod in her ear , she never saw the car , he slowed very quickly and stopped . Maybe we should punish people for being in the road on foot , Im brave but no way I take on a 3,000 lb car . STAY out of the road , you will lose , take a minute to get to the X Walk and wait .

This is really hard to read. But I get what you're saying. People are idiotic. It's amazing the way pedestrians just ignore shit when they're near intersections, streets, etc etc. The worst are cyclists. They ride on the damn road like they have every right to it as an automobile. And I understand technically they do, it just pisses me off when you're on a two lane road, there's a line of cars stuck behind some jerk in spandex on his 10 speed. They want all the rights that cars have, then they proceed to run through stop signs and red lights like they don't exist.
