I almost hit a pedestrian which scared the crap outa me. Let me explain. I was coming up on a green light and there was a vehicle turning left. There are two lanes and the straight ahead lane is open which is the way I am going. I carry on my marry way when just as I am getting to the front corner of the vehicle turning left, there is a pedestrian trying to cross (I have a green light by the way). Never saw the gal!! My mirror missed her by just inches. She was crossing on a green light for me and against the cross walk signals for herself.

Oh my! ... I would have been pissed and scared as **** at the same time!!

But this brings up a topic for me. In my college town, we have a ton of cross walks. And more students will walkout infront of a car expecting the car to stop for them no matter how fast they are going.... but when i'm on my motorcycle, sooo many of my fellow students will try and yeild right-of-way to me on the bike.

Of course they'll yield when you're on the bike. They want to look at it. I get that all the time.

College towns are the worst for pedestrians just walking out in front of traffic esp. on campus. I've done it and had it done to me hundreds of times. But you're right Crash and Six, they do seem to wait on a bike and probably for the reason mentioned above. I know I do.....
