Happening in this week - Nov 25, 2017
Since I became a newcomer here, in Canada, there were a couple of things I was surprised at such as a two-way to left-turn lane, at the intersection allowed to make a left turn when there is no car in the opposite direction lane. In South Korea, according to the traffic rules, making a left turn is fine with following the traffic sign. That means when the pedestrian crosses the street on the green light for pedestrian, any cars are not allowed to approach the crosswalk, however, there are some bad drivers who don't follow the rules, and can make potentially an accident.
On this Monday, the day was same as usual until the early night. Going to school for the general math class I'm really really not good at. When the class was over, I was on the way to back home by foot to a subway station. It was around 10 p.m. The road was pretty much dark, so I tried to be careful when I crossed the street at a crosswalk as I was watching cars. When I checked my back, I found a light getting close to me. There was an SUV car as it was trying to make a left turn in middle-high speed. Instantly, I reacted dodging toward trying not to be hit by the car. Fortunately, I wasn't hit by that car, but it was really close. I was frightened and shocked, so I couldn't make a yell. Only what I did was showing to my gesture, then the passenger of the car looked sorry as she showed me some gesture while the driver just drove away from me without hesitating.
At the moment, my heart bear got fastened and I felt really bad. I can understand the day was too dark and even I could make a mistake. But I could have hit by them, then they shouldn't have left with saying sorry and checking my status. It doesn't make sense to me. This can happen again any day. I need to be more careful on the street.
