One big thing related to driving here: Never in my life have I seen more people step off the curb to cross a street without bothering to look right or left at all, for moving cars.

They just wander out in front of cars, looking straight ahead like everybody's gong to stop reliably for them to go lollygaggin' across, in their own world apparently. They walk in front of moving cars without looking in parking lots too, and where cars are backing out.

I cant figure out why people think they can just step out in front of moving cars and trucks and not LOOK for what could hit them. I wont't step out to cross like that even in a crosswalk......drivers come from varying states and not all have the same crosswalk law saying drivers must stop for walkers already in the crosswalk.
