Have you ever jumped in front of a moving car and yelled at the driver to slow down?

As a private citizen, not as a police officer.

What was the result?

No! Because I do NOT have a death wish.

Why? I have no interest in being a voluntary speed bump.
However, if you were speeding fast enough somebody was that upset with you, I think someday you will find your car immobilized by flat tires, smashed lights, or some such vandalism. I bet that person was a parent who believed you and others who speed in the area to be a threat to children.

I am currently on medication for pre-senile dimentia. What are you on?

I may be losing my mind but I'm not stupid enough to step in front of a moving car.

NO, I would never do that unless there was an emergency and I didn't have my cell phone with me and I needed to get someone to call for help.

Was that before he ran you over or after that you yelled. No I leave the stupid things for stupid people.

No, I have never jumped nor walked in front of a moving car. I have told some drivers to slow down. What was your speed? Did you see a pedestrian crosswalk sign? Where there yellow crosswalk lines on the street?

Yes. He hit me and I was killed. It was like a week ago or 30 years. Time is tough to judge down here where I am.
