Are You a Jackass Driver?
Today’s rant is courtesy of the dolt driving the pickup who decided to verbally harass me at Commissioners/Adelaide this afternoon. “Get off the road!” he yelled, as I proceeded westward from the pedestrian island to the N.W. corner.
As you can see from the photo (click to get an enlarged high-res version) it’s one of the channelized intersections (rounded corners and pedestrian islands) which allow drivers to take the corners at speed. This jackass didn’t care that I had the legal right-of-way (the pedestrian signal said “Walk” and I had been standing there waiting for it before he came along). All he cared about was that he had to stop, instead of going around the corner like a maniac.
