there are those unfortunate few who like to play some warped version of "Chicken" between their vehicle and a human body. In addition to running against traffic, I always make sure that there is room for me to bail to the side, if needed. Sad to say, I have had to employ this strategy a couple of times.

Against traffic - always. You've got to give yourself every advantage (no matter how slight) to be able to avoid being hit. ... In addition to running against traffic, I always make sure that there is room for me to bail to the side, if needed.... And, ditto the comments about driveways and stop signs.

Although we would like to think that all people are considerate, there are those unfortunate few who like to play some warped version of "Chicken" between their vehicle and a human body.
