To the Editor:

To the pedestrian who gave me a dirty look when I did not stop to allow the party to cross Central Avenue in Surf City Saturday afternoon.

I did not stop to let you cross the road because a) I was well less than 50 feet from entering the intersection (no traffic light) and b) there was a car about two car lengths behind me and I did not think it would be able to stop in time. I wanted to avoid an accident.
