Reckless drivers violate pedestrians' rights at lights

Hey you, the man who ran a red light, and you, lady, who said you had a green light when I had a green "walk" light. You told me to shut up.

And you, who comes up to a red light and does not stop or look right on my walk light, you know who you are. You almost ran me over.

Remember? It was at Orlando and 14th Street, and at 53rd Avenue and 14th Street, and at 14th Street and Cortez.

Thank you for your concern for humans!

P.S. I walk, ride a bike and drive a car.

Help.
