Pulling out at the HEB on Northpark to get on the feeder. I was coming home from Kroger this morning and almost got smacked by someone not paying attention. Surprisingly, this isn't the first time this has almost happened. Do people just not look?
Similar, last week. Riding down the feeder, North, by Kroger at NP and 59. I was going 40, speed limit 45, but always trafficky, so I slow down. I SAW a young lady in a van, on her cell, talking away. She Literally looked Right at me, waited the count of 5, and Then pulled out right in front of me, with no mph/speed at All. I had quickly looked left, and was lucky the lane was clear enough, so I turned on my signal, and was ready. Had I Not switched lanes, I would have gone Right through the side of her small SUV. I did honk as I passed her, and got a dirty look, but she was Still looking at her phone, As she drove! These days, you just have to Assume that they are 'looking/not seeing" and Not paying attention! Glad you avoided a collision!!
It will be a racetrack! I do my best to Not have to go across lanes, to get to my destination. I will make a right hand turn, then u turn, and wait through a light, to be able to go straight across, with a traffic light monitoring the flow. This opposed to trying to Get across a few lanes, when people are so distracted. Worth the extra 3 minutes of my time, these days

Yesterday afternoon when I was driving north on WLH there was a woman in a red sedan driving the wrong way, south, in the northbound lanes! OMG. Horns were blaring! She managed to make a U-turn behind me. How did she not see the traffic coming before she turned the wrong way?
That area is always crazy traffic. Yesterday a large truck almost hit us on the southbound service road. The driver was looking at his phone and swerved into our lane. Fortunately DH avoided a crash - the driver looked up then right back to his phone and continued weaving between lanes.
Getting out of any parking lot is a pain. When my kids started driving, I taught them when pulling out of any parking lot go to a light if they have one. It might take a bit longer but they will be protected by the light. I do it still especially when there is traffic.
