In the last two weeks I had 3 separate close calls in eureka, ca. . 1 guy was crossing against the his red light on L st. Going toward Rita’s @ fifth st. eureka ,. It was 6:30 am , dark I had the green light for awhile doing 32 mph . I didn’t see his brown , no reflected clothing . I hit the brakes hard when my headlights picked him up and he flipped me off. The other guy with a backpack on riding a bike in the the bike lane swerved out into the chicken center lane flipping me off again while finally looking over his shoulder to see that I was slamming my brakes on 3 feet from almost striking him . Run on sentence . The other guy with his back turned to me just crossed in a cross walk hoping all would stop for him . Trusting that all drivers are paying attention. I wonder , Idiots or just no fear of dying . Or just so much on their minds trying to survive .

Also, drivers won’t stop, slow down, or obey speed laws. These behaviors endanger pedestrians and cyclists. Share the road or stop driving.

EUREKAS got the worst and most inconsiderate drivers I have ever seen
And the pedestrians and bycicle riders are just as inconsiderate between the 2 we must have one of the highest rate of pedestrians hit per capita
My all-time favorite is when a police car hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk .after he was released from the hospital EPD arrested him for running out in front of a cop car .a freind of mine was the only witness to that accident says it was theEPD officer was totally at fault .iz there a law against running out in front of a cop car .im really not shure myself
