re: As a jogger on neighborhood roads, here's a message to inattentive cars

never slightly moving to the center of the road when they easily can.

So now you are telling me how to drive?

Earbuds are used at a low volume, never over the sound that I wouldn't be able to hear cars.

Not all neighborhoods have sidewalks.

find one that does

dude, you're not going to get any support from the OT

I completely understand where you are coming from though

I like that people are acting like you are running on a busy street or a highway. Running on a neighborhood road is fine. Just always remember that a lot of people driving cars, especially women and teenagers, are completely unaware of their surroundings, even while driving

always take the ditch when running on roads and a car is approaching

You would back down. Pussy.

I've been almost hit, had trash thrown at me, yelled at, etc while road running

I've just learned to get as far away from cars as possible

You're obviously either trolling or no better than the hood rats who love to walk in the middle of "their" street just because they live on it.

The only good that may come of this thread is LSUballs dropping in to tell his driving through the hood story.

THIS!


I have two teens in high school and there's now way I'd run on a street they were driving on. You have to assume that every moron is texting or playing on their phone. IMO, you are taking your life into your own hands if you do this.

The great part about posting this thread is that no one believes they are a bad driver.

Should I mention that cops are also inattentive and are running me off the road, too?

First off, you need to understand that the negative feedback you're getting here is not because they actually drive like dicks in their neighborhoods, it is due their own insecurities.

Most wish they could get off their large asses and do what you're doing but they don't and hearing you talk about your running in this thread brings out their feelings of inadequacy which turns into anger at themselves which gets dished out to you.

In the immortal words of one of the single greatest recording artist of all time:

Cause the players gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.

You gotta shake it off. Shake it off.
