… it was illegal? No one has received a ticket for jaywalking in nyc.
No white people maybe.
Adam Ruins Everything had an episode about jaywalking and how it became a crime.
Are there ever any tickets for any sort of traffic violation of any sort in nyc?
Turning right on red apparently
I drive a delivery truck though nyc one day a week. I have unadulterated rage for the single passenger suvs that sit in the middle of intersections, causing gridlock cause they think they'll miss something by waiting their turn.
