Here, the motorist failed to look both ways, yet blames the runner for appearing out of nowhere!
Soon all motorists are detailing the close calls they've had, and demanding that those who aren't using a motor should keep off the roads.
Human nature - don't you just love it?

Nice job of selective “quoting” Cybermuda.
Nowhere in my original post did I “blame” the runner. I accurately described what took place. And in my follow-up post (#33), I specifically stated that I was at fault. That “near-miss” shook me up badly and since then I’ve been hyper-vigilant in looking out for runners/walkers/bikers, and I’ve warned my visitors to do the same. I don’t want to see anyone hurt, and that was the whole point of my original post.
