I almost seriously injured or worse yet could have killed a pedestrian who ran out in front of me as I was travelling from north to south on Interstate avenue.  I had the green light as I was approaching the intersection and the pedestrian was more focused on trying to catch the train than crossing the road and he ran right in front of my vehicle.  Fortunately for him I was on the ball that day, locked up my brakes and he barely scraped the hood of my car.   

What are we supposed to do about skateboarders who blatantly ride down the middle of the road with oncoming traffic and their attitude is that they have the right of way?
