    Same. One of these days some texting kid in a $70k truck is going to smear my body on the pavement.

      It doesn’t have to be a teenager in a truck, not too long ago I was nearly ran over by a texting old woman in a VW Golf lol.

      I was already half way across the zebra crossing, heard the ABS doing its thing, I stopped, the car came to a halt right in front of me. If I had been 1 step further along, I would have been on the bonnet/roof of the car. I looked into the car and the woman was holding her phone, Whatsapp chat was shining with the power of 3 suns. She then started to accelerate, I kicked a dent into her rear bumper.
