I know I am part of the problem, but the number of people walking around in dark colors and dark jackets at night baffles me. Bonus points if they are jaywalking because they have the right of way.
Combine that with spending any time after sunset either partially blind from super bright LEDs or fully blind from high beams and yeah. Constantly having to drive defensively and try to spot potential hazards a mile ahead in the brief window of just being partially blinded.
So I am all for some thermals I can glance at
What does this even mean?
It means he's confused and has fallen for the automakers' propaganda.
It means someone isn't using a crosswalk but still has the right of way by virtue of being a pedestrian.
Yeah. Maybe it is different where others live but it is incredibly common for people to just say "fuck it" because they know others will stop or swerve. Happens in cars and on foot
