Video Of Toronto Woman Dangerously Jaywalking In Front Of A Car With Young Kids Has Drivers Furious
Toronto drivers are blowing up a Reddit thread over a video of a woman dangerously crossing the road with young kids.
Drivers are fuming after a video posted on Reddit today, showed a woman hauling her kids across a snowy street in Toronto with no regard for oncoming traffic, setting fire to the clip's comment thread. In the video, which was captured via a dashboard camera, the driver is seen making his way through a snow-covered street when suddenly a woman escorting two children pops out from behind a parked car. The car eases to a stop narrowly avoiding them. The woman then yells something out to the motorist, which judging from her body language wasn't an apology.
Several Redditors were appalled by the woman's behaviour in the video, with one user putting it plain and simple, "out from between parked cars and not at a crosswalk even. F--k this lady." Others flooded to the defence of the driver after some criticized his reaction, "Completely reasonable reaction if you ask anybody. You don't just slam the brakes when you see someone pop their head out."
