E. Marietta Kummerle: Drivers need to pay attention to those in crosswalks
My husband and I would like to commend the individual crossing Sylvan Avenue on Friday afternoon with a bicycle. He actually walked the bike across the road in the crosswalk. I would also like to apologize to him for the three cars who had to speed past him while he was trying to do the right thing. There was a near mishap when the last vehicle, a Honda Accord almost hit him.
Wow, did any of you rude drivers – who had no time to stop for someone doing the right thing – even notice that several cars had stopped for the bicyclist?
