My grandson recently saved the life of some man who decided to walk in the dark, wearing dark clothing, across Vineyard Boulevard. The gentleman was walking not in a crosswalk but across the middle of the darkened intersection. It was nearly 8 p.m. and very dark. Luckily, my grandson saw the fool in the darkened street. I put on my brakes, as did the car in the other lane, to let him pass.
People at night think that we can see them. Jaywalkers at night: Your life is in peril. Stop it.
Furthermore, as I headed home down Portlock, another person was walking in the dark street, with dark clothes, pushing a baby carriage on the wrong side of the street. Do these people have a death wish?
Walking at night requires walkers to follow the rules of common sense.
