I've always had this fear of getting hit by a car in New York City. That's because the cabs drive like crazy. The bikers are even more mad. And the bus driver really don't give a sh*t if they run someone over or not.
That's why I always check both ways when I cross the street. And for good reason too judging from these Manhattan stats for pedestrian and biker deaths in the past year. (Check out Crashstats.org to find out the most dangerous intersections. It's freaky. And what ever you do, stay away from E 33rd St & Park Ave Southbound!)
