drivers that don’t have peripheral vision should be driving
It’s angry car drivers vs. innocent pedestrians, and the angry car drivers win all the time. Ever try crossing Queens Blvd during the evening rush? Even when the light is red cars go thru and rev their engines making crossing the large boulevard very challenging, especially for all the elderly.
Besides the wreckless drivers you have STUPID PEDESTRIANS CROSSING AGAINST THE LIGHT AND DON’T EVEN BOTHER LOOKING !!!
