I don't often go jogging on the road, but when I do I wear a deep cover hoodie.
And please, please just stick a hand in the window, or throw something at my car which would likely cause me to reasonably fear for my life.
Better not be peering into garages and casing houses. This America, we don't tolerate that shit.
If some douche lays on the horn for 10 seconds while driving by me just because I am running on the side of the road, a rock will be hitting the car. And if you stop and get out, the next rock is hitting your face.
It's like a psycho gun owner's wet dream... Completely justified self defense.
You must live in a liberalie state.
Relax, I'm white.

Oh yeah, stop your car, get out, AND pull a gun.
You must be a special kind of stupid.
Not to mention I'm a way better shot than you.
LOL I bet you are.
A rock thrown at me is a threat on my life. Most gun owners will agree. Think about that the next time you're jogging in the middle of the road during rush hour.

You're the kind of guy that gives gun owners a bad name. And I really mean that.
No wonder you love honking at people like a douche, because without the gun you have no testicles.
And you're the kind of person who gives runners and bicyclists a bad name.
We're all sick of you. Everyone who drives by you thinks you're an idiot elitist who would rather prance around in your runner shorts than go to a park or track. Oh yeah the concrete at the park is too dense for your delicate runner ankles.

Here, once an for all, is the proof that running on asphalt
has no advantage over concrete, since they are both
at least a thousand times harder than your running shoe.

Comp. modulus of elasticity, or Young's modulus for materials:
Rubber (average) = .4 (k.p.s.i.)
Composite Asphalt = 380
Wood (compression along grain) = 1,500
Concrete = 4,500
Steel = 30,000
Using these numbers, this is the percentage of energy that is
absorbed by a rubber-based shoe running over each of
these surfaces:
Shoe Surface
Asphalt 99.89% 0.11%
Wood 99.97% 0.03%
Concrete 99.99% 0.01%
Steel >99.99% 0.001%
In running shoes, training on concrete is like adding one
extra stride's worth of shock for every every thousand
strides that you would take on asphalt, or about one stride per mile.
Since the cushioning difference between any two shoe models
is much more that 0.01%, I submit that shoe choice, and not
surface choice, is the only thing that matters for injury prevention
on hard surfaces.
In the aftermath of his accident, Dr. Tanaka said he could not find any scientific evidence that a softer surface is beneficial to runners, nor could other experts he asked. In fact, it makes just as much sense to reason that runners are more likely to get injured on soft surfaces, which often are irregular, than on smooth, hard ones, he said.
No significant differences were detected among the surfaces for shoe reaction forces, contact time, or impulse (P > 0.05). This implies that runners who choose to run on stiffer surfaces are not exposing themselves to additional risk as a result of loading but possibly because of internal compensatory mechanisms. However, these results may not apply to all runners.
Running on the side of the road does not give anyone a bad name. You're the one who has some serious issues here. You even stated you would initiate the douchery.
Honking at someone impeding traffic = legal
Attempting to murder someone = illegal
Honking at someone impeding traffic = legal
Starting today I am honking at any idiot running in the road when a sidewalk is available.
He followed them... Totally different from honking at some sexually repressed idiot blocking traffic.
Starting today I am honking at any idiot running in the road when a sidewalk is available.
so you're retracting this:

QFT, plus not yeilding the 3' required by law from a pedestrian would be comical to add.
LOL at SA saying you'd be putting reasonable fear of his life in his head.
Freaking coward.
