Yup, once again somebody tried to murder me while on my morning run.
Let's set the stage:
1. It's Spring Break, so traffic on Northshore Drive is really light.
2. I was wearing a headlight and a green rear-facing flasher.
3. I was running VERY SLOW, today was my recovery run.
My path is the yellow arrows. At the points marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 I was looking over my shoulder. No traffic.
I crossed the first half of temporary road slowly, then stopped to look to my right...
And that's when the asshole (red arrows) came barrelling as if it was a race track.
What annoys me is that I know that she was speeding, and she didn't give a flying fuck about running over me. I am almost at my most paranoid whenever crossing streets during commute hours, and worse when it is a busy intersection. And I clearly remember looking over my shoulder as I was approaching the corner. That bitch was going so fast that she covered that arc from 1 through 5 in less than two seconds.
And the only reason I am alive is that I stopped at point 5 to look to the right one more time.
