Myself and a SLO County vehicle almost hit a guy on 101 about a month ago. He was crossing at Madonna and was stuck between the fast lane and slow lane. I saw the white in his eyes! When I honked he flipped us off and threw his hands up. Idiots.

I miss the good ‘ol days when there were no pedestrians on the highway.

Not only are people allowed to do practically whatever they want; it’s promoted! This is the result. Pedestrians and cyclists should NOT be “sharing the road” when it’s over 45mph. Death is close to a guarantee getting hit at those speeds. Recently saw a family of four with kids likely under 10 years old riding bikes haphazardly on the side of a 55mh road. WHY EVEN REMOTELY RISK IT?!? I’ll never ever understand :/

Similar to cyclists riding against traffic. Who’s fault is it if we have a head-on when my tire blows and I need to pull over in an emergency?
