Seriously...Look out!

All right, pedestrians, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

You may have the right of way but that doesn’t magically mean that I’m not going to hit you.

I’m not saying that I’m out to get hapless walkers, bikers and users of other modes of non-automotive transportation. I’m just saying that if you’re not looking where you’re going, looking where I’m going and not dressed appropriately for late-night excursions (ie: something bright and reflective, perhaps), there’s a good chance we’re going to meet in an unpleasant and sort of painful way.

I’ve been hit by a car before. It’s not nearly as much fun as they make it look on TV. Actually they don’t make it look all that much fun on TV. I have no idea why certain individuals seem to want to bounce off the hood of my car but they keep trying. It’s only through my own vigilance (which is sometimes lacking, I’ll admit, as I can be easily distracted while trying to find quality rock on the radio) have I managed to avert their many attempts.

So, as I’ve asked in the previous incarnation of the WATJ, please watch where you’re going. It’s in the best interest of everyone.
