So yesterday I'm riding my bike to work in the pouring rain. I come to a DESIGNATED CROSSWALK and I wait for the loser motorists to slow down because I don't trust ANYONE behind the wheel of a car. This lady slows down for me and I let the two other speedy cars on the other side of the road go by since they are in such a hurry and I see another car off in the distance who won't be at the crosswalk until I've passed through. I'm in the middle of the crosswalk and before I know it, I hear the combination of tires screeching and a really loud horn blaring which I couldn't tell if it was from the lady who stopped for me or if it was from the silver Sunfire that nearly took my life. He was going soooo fast that he couldn't stop in time he skidded along the pavement coming within an inch of my back tire. By the time he was at a complete stop, he was in the crosswalk and if was not on my bike and I had been walking, he would have hit me so hard I would have gone flying in the air. I screamed and cussed and yelled at this bastard who was so shocked that he didn't even retaliate but he kept going so I couldn't even take down his license plate. I caused such a scene that everyone just kind of stopped and stared. As I continued down the RESIDENTIAL path, I started to think that this guy almost took my life. I could have been lying lifeless on the pavement right now but I'm alive. I started to breathe really heavy and when I finally got to work, I was shaking and I couldn't calm down. It scared the shit out of me.

When your time comes...
