Look Both Ways Before Crossing the Street!!

And not thirty seconds before, either. Look in the direction of the oncoming traffic of the lane in which you are about to step as you step into that lane. Even if it's a crosswalk. Even if you didn't think you saw a car there.

Because behind that huge SUV (at a safe and generous distance) is a little, beige sedan. You lucked out this time because the sedan's driver saw you, but just think what might happen to your pretty, little, iPod-wearing head if the driver of that car were as inattentive as you!

Just a friendly reminder, that's all. . .

Did the screech of your tires startle her?

BTW, I thank you for saving her life (even if she does not)!

Well, yeah she had the right-of-way. I've been a pedestrian in this town enough times, however, to know that at least 50% of the drivers don't obey that right-of-way.
