A surprise rush hour snowfall and pick up trucks is a near guarantee for near misses and inattentive drivers barely avoiding killing folks. Sigh.
It could be funny if all of the due care of existing on the road didn’t rest solely on the folks walking or biking.
I’m also a wee bit mad after having to avoiding getting squished 3 times in only 3 km.

Oh, hey, my friend Paul Fairie ( @paulisci ) was in the news.
He was chatting with CBC about what needs to happen for the downtown core (my neighbourhood). #yyc #yyccc #yycDowntownCore #yycWalk #yycdt #MstdnCA

A speeding BMW came within less than a metre of hitting me today in a crosswalk.
I had started to cross a residential street and saw/heard the car coming, but it was well over a block away when I entered the crosswalk.
As I crossed, I noticed the driver wasn't slowing down. I stopped walking just before stepping into the lane he was driving in. He zoomed past, just in front of me. I'm not sure he saw me at all.
If I hadn't stopped crossing, he would 100% have hit me. 😧
