I was almost run over on my way to work, this morning. I'd reached the middle of a crosswalk when I noticed the driver of a car rolling forward had his head turned to his left towards traffic (and away from me).
I stopped, but he didn't. From at least twenty feet out not once did he turn his head as he continued to roll forward, at a good clip, too. When did he finally stop looking to his left? After he came to a full stop well over the crosswalk. Which, of course, was when the driver, with a look of surprise, finally saw me.
If I had been only half a step further the driver would have nailed me clean before he even noticed me. I bet we both would have been pretty surprised, then. Idiot.
