    Just this morning i was crossing empire & kingston and a yid was turning, he was 2 inches from running us over, I was with 4 children!!!!! there was no way he didn’t see me!

  • motor vehicles slow down!

    I hope she is OK. darn vehicles always in a rush! as if you people have some place important to go.

    No surprise: I have been in sections of New York and Brooklyn where women with baby strollers have been honked and nearly run over because they had the audacity to cross the street with the walk light and some person who wanted to make a turn could not wait for this person to normally walk across the street. Some these drivers even had long beards.

  • dont blame us drivera

    Please do me a favor. I consider myself a safe driver but pedestrians make it pretty hard to drive when they cross on don’t walk or put carriages first in the street.

  • !!!

    many times when i cross the street (walking normally and on a green light)drivers just make their quick turn and nearly miss me!

  • will be ok

    i’m sure she got top notch treatment from FDNY – they were being watched over by sholom W.

  • Time for a change

    It’s time the police start giving tickets all over CH for speeding vehicles instead of looking high and low for expired tabs. Fines would be higher, the city would bring in more money, and our community would be safer.
