I was this close () from becoming Pavement Man.
 

I was walking home and was crossing an intersection north to south. There was a one-way street coming north, and a two way street going east to west. A fellow pulled up on the west side hoping to make a left onto the one-way, but there were cars.

So I'm crossing the street, and I swear he glanced over and saw me. But right as I got next to his hood ornament he saw a break in traffic and thought he could go. He gunned it and bammo!

There was no chance of dodging. I did the Heisman trophy pose and stiff-armed his hood, and he hit the brakes before he actually got into my body, but dang, it was close. I got around to the side of his vehicle, we looked at each other, and then he gunned it out of there. Never apologized, never asked if I was okay, nothing. A couple of pedestrians came up and asked me if I was okay, so it was enough of a hit that it got people's attention.

I've got a sore wrist from hitting his hood, so I hope I at least dented it a little.

And I got his plate number, but I'll cut him a break. He just got caught up looking south at the traffic on the one-way and didn't think about a pedestrian coming the other way. But he still should've stopped and said something.

Was it Pioli?

I'm going to start a new thread to share my thoughts on this.

Hope you're alright.

Pavement Man? Is this yet another superhero identity you've created for yourself?

Not sure this one has much traction.

Great news that you're relatively unscathed. Tough call on whether to involve the authorities. I'd be tempted to get the cops to check whether he'd had a beer or five.

I would have called the police immediately. **** that guy.

You almost got killed by a Broncos fan. This is very saddening.

If you had been running that never would have happened.

Name change?

Dang, Mr. Rain Man. Glad you're okay.

Or on a mountain. Always take the mountain route to and from work.

This is why I don't walk.

If I hit a pedestrian, I'll be fine.
