Or how about when you're driving westward in the right lane on Hwy. 466, into the afternoon sun with visor down and there's still a lot of glare in your view…...with traffic going 45mph with some going faster. A woman suddenly appears on the left in the bright sunlight not far ahead, and awkwardly trots out of the middle divider crossing with both hands full and runs across hwy. 466 in front of speeding traffic to the driveway on your right……to beam and lovingly place a turtle on the ground…..where I guess she thought the turtle was going to obediently stay and would not try to cross the highway again once she left.
Her "kindness" to a turtle could have caused her death under another driver's wheels going 45mph, plus a 10-car chain collision in the two lanes she was trotting across with hands full and was, I think, wearing sandals/flipflops.
