Tread carefully

Had to drive in to work today with all the insane commuters. (Long story, involving a missing DART pass.) At a street corner, I waited to turn right while a pedestrian moseyed across the street. She had the right-of-way. None of this was apparent to the guy behind me, who leaned on his horn like he was a New York cabbie.

Drivers have little respect for pedestrians crossing the street in this town, even when the walkers are in the right place. I've seen cars whip around right in front of people trying to get through the crosswalk. There is no tolerance for the bipeds.
