Not looking at where they are going!!!
Ok, so just got home. Was on way to my second job and driving through my neighborhood. Snow on ground.
I am driving slowly along and some guy, not looking, coming up to the intersection I am crossing over just keeps going...looking straight ahead....not looking over at me at all...I am blowing my horn and slamming on my brakes and start sliding...and it was like slo mo....
So, he hits me. Lovely.
What is interesting is that when someone hits me I never actually get angry. And what is even more interesting is that this guy, just like the last person who crossed in front of me didn't even apologize. They're just like hey, yeah, guess we should call the cops, huh?
Ugh.
Unfortunately, there is no stop sign for this intersection, but the whole neighborhood operates as if the road I am on is the "right of way" road (and looking at the roads anyone would guess that). But, since there are no stop signs, no one is at fault per cop.
The guy also had a passenger in his car that the cop ended up handcuffing and putting in the back of his car. I have no idea what the deal was with that, but I do know that I had to wait there start to finish for two hours while the cop was doing whatever he was doing in his car. Insane.
ETA: Yes, I am fine, as was the other driver and passenger.
