No, everyone on the road is not an idiot. I've already stated that.
Most, in fact, are courteous. It's the minority that keeps their unlawful 40 mph pace, sometimes having their head buried in the smart phones, which aggravate me.

Yeah I completely understand what you mean. I don't see what's so tempting about texting while driving. I would rather get from point A to point B without having any problems, but I suppose some people just aren't right there in the head to realize that.

So even more the reason to keep your kids out of the roadway

I feel your pain. But like you said, most drivers are courteous to runners but I generally look behind me when there's oncoming traffic and run in the grass if there's going to be drivers on both sides.
Also, yiu can usually tell by the time the car is with in 50 yards if you need to be in the grass or not.

As soon as I saw this thread I had to click to read all the lard asses that post here non stop telling you to get off the road or go run in a park. I don't live by a good Park to run in nor would I drive 20 min when I can just step out side.
Just don't expect sympathy from this group of idiots.

I don't trust a BR driver for anything. At all. Ever. I don't ride my bike to work in this town because of them, I don't walk to work in this town because of them, and I have a hard time trusting them when I'm on the sidewalks going to the shopping centers near my town because of them. This town is quite honestly full of the most aggressive, careless, idiotic, brain dead, cell phone addicted drivers I've seen in my entire life.

Take a look how these morons drive in parking lots - 30 mph in front of stores, not yielding to pedestrians crossing to the parking lot and stores. It's pitiful.
