I almost got taken out coming back from the dog park this morning. 10AM, road barely plowed as we're in a small quiet neighborhood. Said road is quite winding compared to most of SLC grid-aligned stuff. No sidewalks of course, we don't have those here. I'm crossing the street at a 4 way intersection, speed limit 25 mph, lady comes in going about 40 and tries to make a left. She gets sideways and slides in front of the dog and I, we'd have gotten tagged if we hadn't stopped and taken a few steps back. Lady angrily shakes her fist at me, backs up, makes the turn, immediately pulls into the driveway of the house on the corner, gets out, and screams at me not to stand in the middle of the road. I was so frazzled I just walked away, don't think I had ever seen someone drive that stupidly on snow. Clearly saving 5 seconds getting home is worth killing a pedestrian over...
