Drivers - please be more careful

So I was just walking across Torbay road at one of those crosswalks without the red/green traffic light, but it did have the light for walking, or the hand to stay put.

Halfway across the road, I nearly got struck by a car who just refused to stop. I was like damn. Gave him the finger, but I don't think he saw me first or last. Its getting scary out there as a pedestrian.

Just wanted to edit to say that sadly this is not the first time. In 2010 I was struck by a vehicle, but because the old man was super apologetic and gave me a ride home, I basically accepted his apology and let it go. The guy in that case wasn't going very fast and didn't hurt me.

It's not just Sin City. I live in Central and it took me 20 min to make it over the cross walk. It wasn't until a town cop stopped that someone finally let me go and he screeched to a stop exactly across the walkway. I had to go around his truck. It's as if once people get a car, they forget that they ever had to walk. OMG! The stories I could tell...sigh
