Cars = Evil

March 10, 2008

I almost got hit by a car today. Twice. Not the same car, two different ones. This morning on the way to college a white van just breezed past me while I was on a zebra crossing. He saw me and everything, just for some reason decided not to slow down.

I already hate white vans because many times me or my friends have been walking along and from the rolled down window of some battered Ford Transit comes: “Oi, wanker! Why’n't yuh cut yer ‘air, yeh wanker!? Wonderful.

The other time was on my way home when I’m (again) on a zebra crossing and I (foolishly, I know) expected this blue people carrier to stop so I could cross. As is the law. Of course, the problem with that law is that it doesn’t allow for absolute pricks on their mobile phone with their eyes firmly locked on the speedometer without noticing the outside world… to do what they do.

Got clipped by his wing mirror too. Not fun.

That was my day.
