This scenario is why I've, more than once, considered blocking both lanes on a four lane (two lanes either direction) road, to protect the pedestrian. I'm not sure I'm prepared for the resulting road rage, though.

Can I ask an honest question, though: why are there no consequences for shitty driving here? I never see cops enforcing traffic laws. Are the police understaffed? Is the area just super soft about traffic enforcement? What gives? It's the same shit up in MoCo as well.

Edit: a word and a clarification
