screech!
today on the way to pick up my kid at school i saw a truck nearly get creamed by two cars and a bicycle. we had been waiting to cross a major street. and when the light changed a thundering herd charged down the road. the guy in the truck thought he had just enough time to turn left in front of us. if he cut the corner a bit. apparently he was so distracted watching us that he didn't see the big yellow concrete lane divider directly in front of him. so he stopped. and we're all like what the fuck? then he started driving at us. and we're all like holy shit! we were braking before, but now we're seriously braking in earnest. his maneuver seemed crazy but made sense. he did have to get out of the way. and he did have to go around, not over, the concrete thing. but no one got hit. so it's all good. so long as it's not a regular occurrence.
