As a longtime runner I've learned to never take anything for granted. Today, while out running I had another incident with a car coming out from a side street onto a main road. I was running up O'Dell and this vehicle was taking a right onto O'Dell from Stillwater Trail. The driver looked left and hit the gas to turn right without looking right and was shocked to see me there.
This is very common. People DO NOT LOOK RIGHT when they take these turns. They look left and turn right WITHOUT looking a great majority of the time. As I come upon these situations I always always peer into the car to see the driver's face to make sure they see me before they turn. Today the guy was quite shocked and apologetic knowing exactly what he had done. I've never had this with the carts that I can recall.
