Jaywalking

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 09-04-2009, 04:50 PM

I got my first ticket ever. For jaywalking.

That cop was a douche.

Jaywalking is dangerous, you know.

Metal Mario · 09-04-2009, 07:37 PM

You can run over a jaywalker and it won't be your fault. Because the jaywalker was breaking the law.

It's illegal in most of the world for a good reason...I can't see you and have to slam on the breaks at the last moment. You're damn lucky I didn't run you over cause you didn't look!!!

What the hell were you thinking, man? You could have died!

***Cosmonautical*** · 09-05-2009, 12:21 AM

You know what gets me? People that practically stand in the street while they're waiting for the crosswalk signal. I mean, getting closer to being crushed by a semi doesn't actually get you there any faster.

In the past 2 or 3 weeks I've had like 2 kids run into the street in front of my car. One of the times while I was driving 70 kilometers an hour. wtf

I hate it when someone waits for the light to turn green and then crosses the street in front of a bunch of cars.

Bonus Points if you happen to bend over for change while crossing.

What does Mr. Resop have to do with you running into the street?

**Crazyswordsman** · 09-05-2009, 01:06 PM

Please don't laugh at us. We have far less space than the freedom machines do. When there is no space to safely walk down - or cross - the street, we will jaywalk. The pro-car, anti-pedestrian bias of cops will not deter us. -CSM

I got let off for Jaywalking cos I was English. Woot.

What's funny, is when "gangstas" with their pants hanging off their ass jayrun and their pants fall down to their ankles. XD

It's funnier when you hear the "squish" sound and a slight whimper.

Oh. When I opened this topic, I thought that IRHP would be angry that someone jaywalked in front of his car. Instead, he's complaining because he broke the law and got caught.

**Crazyswordsman** · 09-05-2009, 09:07 PM

You know what really bugs me? People who oppose jaywalking, let alone actual SAFE places for pedestrians to walk, often whine that they have to actually drive within the speed limit! -CSM

Luigiman7 · 09-05-2009, 09:11 PM

^^^ Well, everyone else did that, so...

Yeah, I don't know.

**Crazyswordsman** · 09-05-2009, 09:26 PM

I still think there are too many places in this country where there is insufficient space for pedestrians and cyclists. And closed sidewalks, what are people supposed to do? -CSM

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 09-05-2009, 10:02 PM

Chill out, CSM. We already know how you feel about it. I like walking, too. I even, gasp, jaywalk when it's necessary (but I'm smart enough to check for police beforehand

).
