Sitting in my office today, and suddenly I hear the unmistakable sound of tires screeching, and someone screamed. I go down to the lobby because I was also going to get lunch. I look down the street and I see a Prius taxi, partly on the sidewalk, with the door mirror on the drivers side dangling off. The driver of the cab looked traumatized, and the young lady on the bike, had stood up and was fine. The cyclist ran a red light, and t-boned the side of the Prius. Now I know for a FACT! That cyclists have to obey the traffic laws, and generally a red light means STOP YOU TOOL! But no. She didn't stop and hit a taxi. She then tried to blame the taxi driver. She tried to blame her own stupidity on the taxi driver! Cab drivers are mental, yes, but she ran the red, hit the cab who had a green light, then blamed it on him. The EMS was in attendance, fire, police and EMT. She was FINE. The paramedics checked her over then said she was fine. Then the police wanted a word with her. Hopefully she got her ears chewed off by the cop and a ticket. And the 10 plus people who I were talking about it all said it was her fault and hers alone, and the cabbie was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ugh. She had no helmet or anything. She's lucky she walked away and wasn't wheeled away, or scraped off the road with a shovel.

Obey the traffic laws for gods sake.
