Well who hasn't almost run down a jogger who was doing something dumb like crossing against the light or running in the street at night with dark clothes on or running out in front of a car and expecting the car to stop or jogging in the street on a busy highway rather than a quiet neighborhood. Why can't joggers stay on the sidewalk - it would be safer for all concerned.

And bicyclists are another category of fitness types where people take leave of their senses.

Well, I guess that’s progress. Sigh.

somehow I’ve managed to avoid almost running down a jogger in 40 years of driving.

I run facing traffic on a dead end road to nowhere with 8 ft. wide shoulders on both sides. for some reason the road is popular with fat-assed lookie lous in 4X4s who are lucky to make it from the couch to the refrigerator. had a motorist going my direction cross all the way over and see how close he could get to me without actually hitting me. flipped him off but he kept going. lucky for him he didn’t have a flat tire within the next mile.
