[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in DC 4 years, and have been knocked off my feet once by a car and nearly run over numerous times. Most of these incidents have happened when I've been crossing on a pedestrian light. I'm always careful to ensure I have enough time to cross (before red hand flashing) and I walk briskly so that motorists have a chance to turn after I've finished crossing. But there are so many assholes out there who prioritize knocking 10 seconds off their journey time over the safety of people legally and reasonably crossing the road. I'm used to city living - I came here from 12 years living in London without a single altercation with a motorist. Something that irked me previously has really started to get to me. Especially when it happened last week while I was pushing my baby daughter in her stroller. I made a police report when I was knocked over - the driver didn't stop - but the police were totally uninterested. Is there anything else I can do? [/quote]
