Just treat every intersection like a roundabout and you’ll be ok

yeah but I almost got run over by a guy in a big truck speeding through the roundabout by Sub Rosa. I also almost got murdered by a guy in a big truck speeding through the roundabout by Pizza Bones.

Oof that sucks. TBH I drive a big truck, but I drive it like what it is - it’s construction equipment. It’s big, cumbersome, and dangerous and should be respected by the driver. People who drive their trucks like they are in a sports car are assholes and idiots.

Exactly. I'm not "anti-truck" per se, but you have to treat it with responsibility if you're going to be on city streets. One of those times I was in a car going through the roundabout; the guy just sped through without slowing down, let alone yielding. I honked and he flipped me off.

The other time I was crossing in the crosswalk. Again, the guy didn't slow down, and I had to jump away from him. I hit the car with my hand as I did and he turned to me and rolled his eyes and just kept going without slowing down. Hard for me to wrap my head around that level of callousness when I could've been killed.
