Run him over next time, he won't see it coming!

Too soon? :whistle:

^ lol

It's just a fucking car - there are more important things to worry about than a little mark on your bumper cover.

Thats stupid, what if it was your child that he whacked with his cane? While you were not paying attention?

I've never seen a blind person wave his cane around like that, but it does sound careless and dangerous.

???

It was the fucking car dude... it WASN'T his child, and that's what Senna4ever's point was. the more important things to worry about are things like his child.... if he has one

what goes around comes around, he hits you, you hit him. End of story

i have an idea stop FURTHER away from the cross walk so buddy man can't hit your car cause your far enough away.

Well if he was deaf, his eyes would most certainly work and OP's bumper would have been untouched. So where are you going with that example?

Hypothetically speaking if you did honk, and a blind person was startled. I highly doubt he/she would simply fall, not all blind people are old. Perhaps their blind walking stick may drop, if that happens park your car, turn hazards on, walk to the person pick up their stick. Mention why you honked, "you were walking right into my car with your stick pointing towards it. Sorry, have a nice day."

I understand that they're supposed to raise their cane horizontally and walk if they aren't sure if they should cross, but when they start to curve into traffic well then that's when you should be worried. For your sake and his/hers.

If I was blind, I would have thought oh shit my bad. I'm blind and have crossed streets hundreds of times, this has never happened before. I should wake up.

its probably your fault for going too close to him.. your suppose to be a few feet from the STOP line.. not the Cross-Walk line..

dont anyone follow the rules at the intersection?, your suppose to see the STOP line just above your hood.. if you cant see it, then your too close, if you dont see anyone crossing and you have to make a turn, ten you can slowly roll out AFTER you have stopped..

i see so many people ignoring this and just STOP right at the CROSS walk line.. WTF

i really really doubt there was any damage to your bumper from a blind guys stick... im sorry.. just sounds bs

if he swung his stick hard enough to chip paint there would be an unending line of people clutching their shins/feet

sounds like you just made up the "tiny nick" how would you even spot it over your "sandblasted" bumper of rock/curb damage


but in the event that you're not lying, suck it up susy and stop further from the line next time you see a blind guy on his harrowing quest chopping through an invisible jungle with his machete

I wasn't stopped any closer to the line than the cars beside me... which is also in my first post. True, I could have been like 10 feet away from the line but who does that??

^ I spotted the damage because there was an actual piece gouged out of my bumper. Small yes, but much bigger than any rock chop. The stick is long and if you swing it even gently the force is multiplied.

I don't think you've even been hit by a blind guy's stick so why are you even talking about something you've never experienced? Or are you just making assumptions and following what everyone else is saying? Why not experiment and take a stick and swing it at your bumper to find out?

Everything that needs to be said about this situation has been said already.
