I was walking home from the bus stop after school today, which requires me crossing a pretty busy street. I waited until the walk light came on then I proceeded to cross. I usually check before I cross the street but I had my hood up and my hair was blowing in my face so I couldn't see to the side. The other girl at the cross walk walked so I followed. Next thing I know I hear a car skidding, and it swerves around us. Literally inches away from us. The guy walking on the other side of the street came to see if we were okay, which was nice. It scared me so bad I nearly soiled myself.
I thought Grande Prairie was the only place where stop lights were considered optional.

Oh my goodness. I'm so glad you are ok. Its so funny how you take something so serious and make it funny by saying you almost soiled yourself.
well red lights are even more optional in vancouver i discovered and come on you've been to the PH...
glad you're alive - me too!
You know, hoods really are a hazard when you're a pedestrian. I can't count the number of times my vision has been blocked by my hood when crossing the street - I just pray that no car is coming, and it's worked so far! I'm glad you're okay. Phew!
