    That's horrible. And you should always use a cross walk.

    Thank you! I was thinking about doing the same thing in hopes that our local, follow Tacoma owners will keep their eyes open for this parasite.

    People drive like assholes all over the place more than ever, it seems. Even in our neighborhood around here I've nearly been hit 3 times crossing a 4 way intersection near our downtown main street (stop signs on all 4 corners). People don't have the patience to wait for someone to cross. I actually got pushed up onto the bumper of a car that accelerated when my wife and I were literally walking right in front of him.

    Hope they catch this guy. He's rightly fucked when they do especially for fleeing the scene.

    This is especially true with cyclists. People have no patience to wait behind one, and instead pull dangerous maneuvers to get around them so they can get to their destination 3 seconds quicker.

    The amount of hit and runs, both pedestrian and cyclist, has been increasing lately. Its really bad, and I hope they catch and punish these assholes to fullest extent.

    Just a FYI - The CHP tracked the SOB down and arrested him. May he rot in prison til he dies.
