I want to record and report to posterity the bad behavior of the person who drove, this morning, around 8:30am, at the intersection of (Busch) Campus Drive, Frelinghuysen Rd. and Bartholmew Rd., Piscataway, NJ,(in Busch Campus, Rutgers Univesity).
I was trying to cross the marked cross-walk (next to a circle), and the above-mentioned driver did not stop, even though he clearly saw me trying to cross the street. I was very upset and made a cetrain gesture that he deserved. He then made a U-turn, and stopped next to me, and said "go ahead and say it" in a provocative way, rather than apologizing for breaking the law that motorists must yield to pedestrians at a cross-walk. I told him that people who do not stop for pedestrians at cross walks are not nice people, and that I am disappointet at him. I then asked for his name, so that I can report him to the Rutgers Police. He asked for my name instead, and I gave it to him, but he refused to give me his name. All I could do was jot down his license plate. So, shame on you YXV 53J! And try to remember that pedestrians have the right away at cross walks, and from now have the courtesy to stop for them.
