Never hit a pedestrian. Hit a motorcyclist who was doing 60 or 70 on a neighborhood street at dusk. I had a yield sigh, I see the headlight a block away (a short block but plenty far enough at normal speed) and then the guy totals my old Saab 96 and breaks both arms in the process.

The cop cited him for "deception" due to the high speed. Fortunately for me, 3 teenage kids saw the whole thing, and the motorcyclist even admitted to the cop that he was doing at least 60.

I felt kinda bad about it, but not that much. His insurance paid his medical and got me another Saab.

I am way burnt out on pedestrians just walking into crosswalks w/o even pausing or looking. I see it way too much. A couple of times, I've shouted "Didn't your mother teach you to look both ways before crossing the street?!?" Buncha brain-dead drones. Them white lines won't stop a car.
