Hey good readers!

Here’s a tip for all drivers out there, in relation to blind pedestrians.

If a blind person with white cane or guide dog is waiting at an intersection or crosswalk, it is best practice for drivers to slow down or even stop, to allow the person to cross.

After all, if a driver hits a blind person with a white cane or guide dog, the onus of liability is on the driver, who can see, not the blind guy, who can’t.

Now here is the tip…

However if the blind guy, white cane clearly visible, is standing motionless five feet away from the curb, he is not even close to entering the intersection.

Hell, he is waving at you! What does that mean? Do I wave back? Like he’s gonna see that friendly gesture;; No, he’s encouraging you to get a move on, drive your Tesla!

What a nice guy! He sees you and is letting you go first.

Of course, when the guy is standing right by the curb, hand on the vibrating crosswalk signal, be aware, he’s gonna cross when he can; so do avoid him with prejudice!

Thanks for reading!

I started this blog moments after the first incident, while waiting in my wife’s new car as she grabbed some stuff at Walmart, which was five days ago.

I used my iPhone to start, and finish, WordPress doesn’t seem to HandOff very well.
