As an aside, I'm terrified of killing someone with my car these days. Here in Denver, between legal weed, personal mobile devices, a plethora of street people who are often in one state of impairment or another, and a society that is generally primed for angry impulsive behavior, I see crazy crap that could get people killed damn near every day. In the last two weeks or so alone, I've encountered three cars going the wrong way down one way streets, came semi-close to rear-ending a bicyclist who was riding on a main arterial at night with absolutely nothing reflective on him (a random barely seen glint of something thankfully gave me minimal notice that someone might be there), and watched a guy this morning who thought a red light was taking too long to change just go right through it. That's not even counting the regular events of bicyclists (often wearing headphones) blowing through stop signs or traffic lights when crossing major arterials without even looking and pedestrians popping out from between parked cars to cross streets away from intersections (often in dark clothing at night). My commute is only three miles and is mainly through residential neighborhoods, and it feels like a game of Frogger more often than not.
Well it’s a good thing none of the terrible things you are envisioning has happened yet as you are driving within the legal limits of the law. Because then you’d have committed a traffic offense and likely have to prove you are capable of driving all over again because some person high as shit or blowing through a stop sign on a bicycle got hit by your car.
