So Close

On Thursday morning I was on my way to the library, it was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining and I was enjoying the roll there.

As I crossed the street approaching the library I was almost hit by a speeding Cadillac ... this car came around the corner from nowhere .  It was actually pretty scary.

I always try to be extremely careful when navigating the streets .  I realize how dangerous it can be in a power wheelchair .    It's very similar to when I was operating a motorcycle, people have a hard time seeing a rider or wheelchair user. 

When people wonder why we need curb cuts and well-maintained sidewalks , this is a perfect reason !   I often have to travel on the side of the road because of  inadequate sidewalks, placing me at odd's with traffic .
