This is exactly what I hate about cars. Some idiot starts driving an oversized tank and other idiots then get intimidated during traffic and feel the need to join the arms race.
It's a vicious cycle and pedestrians are the ones who are screwed in the end. Meanwhile, people who actually drive a small car because it fits their needs (only 1-2 people ever drive in it) get laughed at.
That light in the background is by the mall and interstate, so I always wait for the walk signal AND double check traffic first. I still get cussed out about twice a month for the crime of not being in a car.
