My Mindless Meanderings

How much do I wish people would NOT wear dark clothes at night when they're walking?  Especially in the rain?  Probably about as much as the person I hit on the 25th wishes she'd been paying attention when she crossed the street.

Yeah, I hit a person.  She ended up with a broken wrist I think, but is otherwise okay (as far as I know); I was leaving a stop sign so I was going slowly.  I totally never saw her, she blended right in with the rain, trees, bushes, and pavement.

I've no clue what happens next.  We're still waiting for the report to be finished so my insurance can do whatever they do in cases like this.  I'm still upset about it, but a lot calmer than I was two weeks ago  I'm also kind of mad at her for wearing dark clothes and not seeing me.  I mean, it's a white car, with headlights, how on earth did she not see me?

April is defensive driving month.  I don't know if it's county, state, or nation-wide, but there needs to be a defensive pedestrian month, too, so people can be taught how to walk safely.
