hey look! someone is doing the standard practice

It happens more often than you think.
I personally see it on my street once or twice a month, seems unlikely I'd happen to see it every time it happens

Pedestrians and cyclists exist. Even on 2-way roads I've personally almost been run over multiple times on the right side of the road. A vehicle would drive up to the stop sign, look left, see no vehicles, then almost hit me as they turned right because they didn't actually look where they were going...

You are doing it right! One never knows.
-
It happens more often than you think.
And the person doing that is a bad driver and/or has attention problems

How did you post image?

Yeah well looking the 'wrong' way on a 1 way street has stopped me from getting run over, and looking both ways before going on the green has saved my life from a red light runner when I was on my motorcycle.
You basically need to assume everyone in a car is an axe wielding maniac out to kill you if you’re on a motorcycle. I had a family member crash after a driver didn’t look left before pulling out of a driveway and put them out of commission for a few months, plus some new hardware. Stay safe!

That attitude has kept me alive for 23 years of riding. Many have tried to kill me, but I saw most of them coming and got lucky the couple times I didn't.

If someone is going the wrong way down a one-way, you really want to know about them.
I used to live next to a one way street that was two ways all around it. One of the only one way streets in that small town, next to where all the bars were, in a college town, and there was just enough of a hill to make it so two cars at opposite ends of it could not see each other. It was only a block long but the number of crashes and death defying attempts at crossing it on foot was astounding

PFM? Pure Fucking Magic. Dammit guess I will never know.

This is actually a good tool to explain the difference between those RPG stats that can be easy to mix up:
Perception is noticing you are crossing a one-way street.
Intelligence is understanding cars are only allowed to come from one direction.
Wisdom is looking in both directions before crossing anyway.

Considering some of the horrible drivers out there, this isn't a bad idea

How did you post image?
Lemmy uses markdown, so almost any "how" question can be answered by looking up "how to x in markdown."
For example, the first DDG result for "how to post an image in markdown": https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/markdown-markdown-images

You have to look the other way anyway in case there might be pedestrians or cyclists crossing your path.
Or another car

Dexterity is avoiding getting hit by the asshole going the wrong way down the street
Strength is dragging them out of the car afterwards

I remember a vid of a cyclist going the wrong way down a 1 way street. Pedestrian didn't look that way and bam. Guess who the cyclist blamed.

Pedestrians?
Moving from a walker hostile city to a walk friendly city, I forgot they existed and had some close calls. I'm pretty aware of them now.
