I've bitched and complained about this before, but this morning must have been a conjuction of the Moon, Mar and Venus or something .. all the crazy pedestrians/cyclists were out. I typically leave for work about 6:30am, so it's basically dark. As usual I came across a guy walking in my street (rural 70km/h limit), wearing all black .. you only see him once he gets into your headlights .. oh .. and he walks WITH the traffic; smart. Next I come across a cyclist on 100km/h rural road. I only saw him too when I he got into my headlights .. I saw the reflectors on his pedals. He only had a front light. Into town, come across a group of walkers .. all wearing black, no reflective gear, walking WITH the traffic and well within my lane. Finally had another guy on a bike come flying out a side-street without looking and cut infront of me. No lights, no helmet, no idea.
Now .. if I had have hit any of these mentally impaired individuals I'd be the worst person in the world. There would be a public outcry and they'd lower the limit on these streets to walking pace .. and you'd need someone with a red flag to proceed you down the street. People seem to forget that roads - the black things with the white lines on them - are generally for motorised vehicles and it you venture onto the road in the dark for an extended period, you'd better be visible. I think most of these people have a deathwish .. Rod. |
