At 1 AM, I'm Northbound on a one way street, just starting out from an intersection. Partway down the block there's a guy, likely drunk, decides to jaywalk right in front of me so I slow to a crawl to let him pass in front of me, right to left. He's wearing all black so he's damn near invisible.

Just as he's about to pass my bumper another car blasts past me on the left, missing him by millimeters. I'm still a bit shaken up.

1. Wow, this is just my daily commute.

Pedestrians in my city cross wherever they damn well please, especially at night when they're wearing all black. As I live in a very poor city, we also have a dearth of working street lights. It's a madhouse and I get shaken up almost every winter night I drive home from work in darkness.
