You sure about that? Many of the close calls I’ve had as both a pedestrian and a cyclist, the car driver seems pretty sure it was my fault.

In the US, non-drivers are a second thought at best, but probably a nuisance

For example, crossing the street with all reds, cars stopped all directions, walk light on, in the crosswalk. I didn’t actually hear what the driver who almost hit me yelled but probably something like “get out of the road during bmw priority time”. (Pretty sure she turned left because “already in the intersection” bs that some people use to run red lights - we definitely need a crackdown on people who enter the instersection after the light changes “it was yellow, bro” despite it not being close )
