It is something that most people do, is cross the street. I do think we need to bring back to school, how to cross the street.
You might be saying, David, What do you mean? Everybody knows how to cross the street. Well, Do they really?
I mean I was in my car, my 2001 Toyota Avalon XLS driving up this street and I see a man illegally crossing the east bound lane, but I was on the west bound lane. So he cleared the east bound lane and was still looking at the east bound lane as he put his feet on the west bound lane and didn't even look at the oncoming traffic of the west bound lane, in which I was approaching.
He finally turned his head to see me and he got out of the way.
I would think that if someone is going to do some kind of illegal jaywalking, that someone should look at on coming traffic before he puts his feet, as in this case, on the west bound lane. Of course no one wants to hit a jaywalker, so much paper work, just better not to hit him, if one can.
I remember a time where 2 girls were crossing the street on a red light, and they were looking at each other, but not the on coming traffic. My brother was driving this time and he was focused on the green light when I and my sister told him to stop. I did see the two women that were crossing as he was just looking at the green light. Well, my brother stopped in time wondering why we were yelling to stop, as those two girls almost got run over by my brother, that was just concentrating on the green light and not the illegal, red light, crossing women, that themselves were not of aware of the on coming traffic.
So for me, if you are going to break the law, at least look at the on coming dangers to illegal street crossings.
I think we need to teach things like this in the schools, forget the gender studies stuff, but more of the practical stuff, that could me the difference of life and death.
Come to think about it, we need to bring back the drivers training into our schools. Look we had drivers training for decades, but who was the one that decided that we were no longer going to have drivers training in high school?
If we want a strong nation, we will have to have generation of strong drivers, but taking away drivers training from the high schools, seems like a satanic agenda.
Sure take away drivers training from high school and you see all kinds of people doing illegal driving activities.
Some might say, but the high school couldn't afford it. Well, then you let the parents pay for it, as some parents would pay to have some teacher train there child to drive as some parents don't want to.
I hope when Trump comes back to office, I want him to see if he can give an incentive for high schools to bring back drivers training, and if he can do that, maybe in have some common sense classes like, How To Cross The Street, Legally. That would be a good class, that I can stand behind.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6.
