I know, I haven't updated in a while. At some point, I'll have a real entry with all sorts of exciting news. But for now, just this rant about some incredibly bad driving that I saw today.

I was walking on Huntington Avenue earlier, at a point where there are two lanes in each direction with the Green Line tracks on the median in between. A driver in the sidewalk-side lane slowed down and stopped for several pedestrians, who were waiting to cross from the median to the sidewalk, at a crosswalk.

The driver of the car directly behind that car made a quick lane change into the median-side lane, and slowed down to a near stop as she approached the crosswalk. The pedestrians, thinking the second driver had slowed down for them, stepped off the curb into the crosswalk.

Unfortunately, the second driver had actually slowed down to scold the first driver for getting in her way. Driver #2 rolled down her passenger-side window, screamed something about stopping in the middle of the !#?*@! road, then hit the accelerator and sped off. She was still giving Driver #1 the evil-eye, and hadn't turned her head forward to see that she came within inches of hitting the pedestrians. It was absolutely terrifying to watch.
