1. brakes. 2. reflexes.

just almost hit a guy with the car. i was doing about 30, is all, going up my hill, and he came out from behind the bus he'd just gotten off.

memo to guy: LOOK, before you step out into the street!

the brakes didn't squeal. (yay, shop dudes.) and i sat there with my foot on the brake -- and the guy crossed the street -- and i sat there with my foot on the brake -- and i looked toward the sidewalk, and the guy was standing there, and he sort of reached out but didn't quite pat the car on the shoulder, and he mouthed the word "sorry".

Yay shop dudes indeed. Nice narrow escape (I like that the guy knew it was his mistake...)

Oh God. My worst nightmare. It was definitely his fault, not that it prevents you from being shaken.

And that woman who blew past the STOPPED schoolbus wondered why all of us screamed and honked at her.
