Clonge
16 years old, who appeared to be texting. She did not pick her head up once and she was already in the middle of the street. I blasted her with the horn; she looked up at me and I pointed to my eyes, meaning "LOOK!" She pointed at the green light which she had. I knew she had a green light because I had a red one....DUHHHHHHH! She just didn't get it. There could've been a driver texting while she was crossing, a possible recipe for disaster. Maybe another driver could have been having some kind of attack or was otherwise distracted. What, if anything, would you have done?

Despite a $380 fine & the loss of 3 demerit points you see it everyday here.It's not uncommon to count 3 people using the phone while you are waiting at a red light.I think the phones should be confiscated when they are caught.

I'm with you and the horn blasting. Someone I knew years ago would have let the car slip forward just enough to bump her dumb a**. Yep.
People walk around campus with their noses in their phones. I see them coming and continue straight at them, if that's my line of movement. So far, no head-on collisions, but it could happen.
It is irritating, irresponsible, and really stupid to assume everyone will stop just because you have the green light. And the pedestrian has the right of way here, too, just like the tenant who destroys a rental and doesn't pay his rent....or the mother whose child is born loaded down with meth or opiates...."what are we going to do to help poor mommy get better so she can take home little drug baby". Now you've got me on a roll.............

Clonge, Julie can give you a reference to see the show, but remember, we are much better looking in person!

Gone are the days when (particularly young ) people walk along the street with there head up, and with a smile say good morning.

SHE had the light. I’m on her side. I’m hoping she did look before crossing though. The law is on the pedestrian’s side around here. The driver should be paying the attention……….
