Southoftheborder: Thanks for your explanation of why some folks will run in the diamond lane where there is a side walk. [ Anticipating the question of why am I running in the diamond lane when there are sidewalks? For me it comes down to the surface].
Driving my GC on upper Odell, a petite lady jogger approaching me refused to yield. This set in motion a different set of decisions then I expected. I had to stay in lane because of a vehicle in back of me, and consequently had to slow and squeeze by the lady who now was as far to my right as she could. I believe that my bumper would make a greater impact on her than the concrete sidewalk. This came down to HER decision which I believe was a bad one. She could have benefited from your Dad's advice. He was right-on.
