Comments by "Crazy Eyes" (@CrizzyEyes) on "Driver speeds off after hitting Plano 12-year-old walking to school" video.

In Katy near where my parents live, there was a boy walking his dog and his dog was hit and killed by a driver in a similar scenario who simply drove off. There are a shocking number of people who revert to being sociopaths when confronted with a mistake like this. They only care about the penalty they might face, and are too shortsighted to realize that it will only get worse because they tried to run and hide.

The driver was clearly looking only right to watch for other cars. It's depressing how many drivers do this. Even in a residential neighborhood where people are constantly walking.

@jasoneaton9477 How about you look both ways before you apply gas to your 3000 pound projectile?

I have low vision and I can't see drivers in most vehicles. I have been a life long pedestrian. Cars are just emotionless machines to me. What's super frustrating to me is actually when I arrive at a crossing after or at the same time as a car, the crossing is clear, but the car stops and waits for me to cross. I would much rather the car go first so I don't have to worry about any traffic, and it's faster for both of us. I don't feel rushed. Every time I walk in front of a car, even when it is stopped, it feels like I'm going down range at a shooting range. I can't see the driver so I do not know their intentions or desires and any gestures are lost on me. I have been bumped by drivers stopped at intersections while I was directly in front of their car because they didn't look. Once it happened twice in a row at the same intersection. I have been nearly run over by drivers making entirely illegal turns at a busy intersection.
