According to the article, he was in the intersection when the light turned green. A lot of handicapped feel like they have a 'gold card' to do whatever they want.

What constantly amazes me is the number of people I see standing at a cross walk waiting to cross when they have the green light, just as if they were driving. The light changes, turns red for them and green for the traffic to pass in front of them and THEN they step out into the crosswalk to cross, right in front of oncoming traffic, which has the right of way. Then they stop in the middle of the intersection and nobody knows who's going first and they tie traffic up something awful.

I have yet to figure out where these people ever learned to cross the street.

72 and B’way in Manhattan. Pedestrians always crowding the southbound traffic lanes (against the light) to cross to the subway. Light at 71 and B’way was always red. More than a few pedestrians banged their faces into the body of my truck when they thought they had me timed, but I slowed for the red light a bit faster than they figured.
Good sport to end my day. ;)
