To drivers who chastize pedestrians
Rev up to 55MPH (not any faster because you'll waste more gas), find a tree, and aim for it without flinching.

1. And to the drivers who think it's funny to yell out the window or swerve towards a pedestrian
or someone on a bicycle or scooter... yeah... those people too.

2. Works both ways.
I've had idiot pedestrians cuss at me for honking when they step off the curb on a red for them and a green for me.

4. Agreed.
Pedestrians don't have rule of law and some of our laws blindly give it to them as well.

Jaywalkers are my favorite; especially when they slowly shuffle across the road, and stare at you with a nasty look on their face. And they know they can get away with it because, despite breaking the law, the law is still on their side. It's bull.

3. The gas is going to go to waste when they hit the tree anyway
so why not just go as fast as possible and burn as much as possible, in an effort to prevent as much of it as possible from leaking into the ground and contaminating our ground water?
