Driving around, watching idiots once again.

The Jaywalker, gets away unharmed, and the guy is left to pay for damages, pay for his hospital treatment - just because a stupid pedi ran across the street.

Jaywalking is a $250 dollar fine where I live. Jaywalking is:
1) If you are crossing or attempting to cross the road and you are outside of the crosswalk.
2) If you are crossing, or attempting to cross the road when the "Do Not Walk" is lit or
flashing, or if you are facing a red light.

Regarding the guy in the rental Charger:
When I say "you're on 17th ave" - I'm referring to our "bar strip" in town, lots of people, cars, etc - and this dink is driving like an absolute idiot down the road, gunning it, swerving, trying to be cool. Notice the douche lean.

"Why haven't you taken it down?", people asked me, due to the police investigation. Unlike other incidents on YouTube, like lane splitting at 300 KM/H in BC, being caught on a BMW forum for speeding 100 KM/H over the limit, I am posting an opinion, an expression, on others bad driving habits. This is a freedom stated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (Known more commonly as free speech). I am not speeding, I am not stunting, pulling wheelies, burning out my rear tire, honking unnecessarily. If there becomes a ticket regarding the pedi crossing the road, they will be setting a precedent that jaywalking is in fact LEGAL (which, it is NOT), and selective policing would be evident. It may be a controversial event, a lot of attention has stemmed from it, but I am not removing it because I have NOTHING to hide.
