Beware of minivans
Posted on December 9, 2008
Coming into work this morning, I got clipped by a minivan. As a pedestrian, in a crosswalk, with a signal to cross, I assumed they would stop or slow down. It was dark and rainy, so maybe they didn’t see me, or maybe they thought I was walking faster than I was. I knew the van was turning, but they didn’t stop or slow down. By the time I realized this, it was too late – if I stopped they would have hit me square (coincidentally, this was right outside of a hospital ER). I walked faster and just as I was getting out of the way, the corner of their bumper hit the calf of my left leg. Almost, spilled my mocha from Starbucks.
Too bad I didn’t think to get their license plate number, but I wasn’t in pain or injured, so I let it go, while muttering a few choice expletives.
