Yesterday afternoon, I was driving east on 30A, just east of 395. I was comfortably under the posted 35 MPH limit and there was a lot of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. After all, it is July. And I was being watchful.
When I approached one of the pedestrian crosswalks, a man (with kids in tow) on a bicycle made a move to pull out in front of me, then pointed angily at me when I didn't stop for him.
Here's the catch - he arrived at the crosswalk AFTER I had had reached the "point of no return". If had tried to brake for him, I would have either hit him or slid to a screaming halt and probably been rear-ended.
With that kind of attitude, I'd bet his family is "enjoying" their week at the beach with Dad.
