Doesn't this describe street crossing by every single ISU student?:eek:

ISU students can best be described as squirrels. When driving anywhere near campus you have to be ready for one of two things. Either a student makes no attempt to stop and walks directly into traffic or a student approaches a road, stops, look both ways, and then confidently walks directly into traffic.

I haven't been to Europe but I am told there is a significant difference in how traffic laws are viewed over there versus here, especially in Mediterranean Europe. Hopefully he figures this out before he becomes a hood ornament.

In most of Europe cross walks are actually respected by drivers and enforced by the law, even in crazy congested cities like Athens and Rome. I grabbed my friend from Rome out of traffic a couple times when he visited me here because he naturally saw a cross walk and made the mistake of assuming it was there for a reason.

For the first few years I lived in Iowa I would go halfway into a busy street and stand on the line separating traffic, in order to make it across the street quicker. Little did I know that Iowans **** bricks when you do this.

Please don't ever do that when I'm driving. I would definitely **** a brick. I'll try to put a sign on my car so you know it's me :v_SPIN: I hate when people are walking on the road, especially if they are wearing sunglasses and I can't see their eyes.
