6. Around here, that's called "normal."

I came this close ---><--- to getting struck by a car last week. I was in a pedestrian. There must have been five cars stopped waiting for a light to change at the next intersection. The stopped cars had left a gap for pedestrians to use the crosswalk. I was walking between two to the stopped cars, when, at the last instant, I saw another car, going full tilt, passing all the stopped cars and barreling right through the crosswalk. Had I not seen him, at the speed he was going, I don't see how I could have survived being hit.
