There is nothing that infuriates me more than bad drivers. This is, until I started driving around a college campus. For having made it all the way to college, students can be some of the dumbest people you'll find.

Between the copious amounts of drinking and reckless stunts, there's a blatant disregard for their own lives. This is especially true with the pedestrians. We get it, you want to get hit by a car -- whether to die or get tuition money, maybe both, no one can really tell. But let me tell y'all, if I hit you, it's your own fault now. So, here's some good to know things to avoid being hit.

1. Crosswalks were an invention.

Crosswalks were invented over 2,000 years ago to allow people to safely cross roads while avoiding the sewage that ran through the streets. As irrigation and sewage systems advanced through the years, crosswalks went from raised blocks to flat suraces that were even to the roadways.

The first crosswalk erected was in 1868 in Bridge Street, Westminster, Middlesex. It had a manually operated arm (like at railroad tracks) which would stop traffic and allow pedestrians to cross.

As time passed, so did the amount of drivers and traffic. Pedestrian safety became a concern and crosswalks advanced into what they are today. So, in short, no one knows how to use something thats been popular for 2,000 freakin' years.

2. You probably have the ability to see and turn your head.

In case you've never taken a basic psychology or biology class -- or you just don't know squat -- sight is the ability to interpret the world around you via the brain processing color and light. With this, you can watch movies, appreciate art, and look for moving cars.

Crosswalks are for people to cross the road in one safe spot and serve as a warning for drivers to expect pedestrians at that spot. But, this does not mean you can just start walking across the road without looking. You might have the right of way, but I'll hit you right away if you just jump out there without looking.

3. If there's a crossing signal, it's meant to be used.

If there's a little light on the other side of a crosswalk telling you when to walk; it's best to actually pay attention to that. The steps are simple: you press the button, which displays an arrow in the direction you want to walk. Then watch the light across the street for the signal to go. If it's a little person that looks like it's walking, then you're free to go, but pay attention to reckless drivers. If it's a red hand or says, "DON'T WALK", then just stay put. If traffic is busy, it's best not to try crossing the road because that is absolutely stupid. Just wait until, I don't know, it's safe, maybe?

4. Not jumping in the road applies to stop sign intersections too.

I get it, you've got the right of way at intersections, but that doesn't mean you get to be stupid about it. As mentioned above, you still have to look both ways -- especially at busy stop sign intersections. On college campuses it's common to see the above circumstances, so that means lots of foot and vehicular traffic. This means don't be that idiot who runs in front of a car as it's about to pull away from that stop sign. Don't be stupid enough to rush into an intersection without giving drivers time to acknowledge you're presence at the intersection. Also, maybe a little considerate of drivers and cross when no one is driving through your side of the crosswalk.

5. Those sidewalks cost a lot of money, so use them.

The city or school paid a butt-ton of money to have large slabs of concrete poured along the roads. That concrete is called a sidewalk and is meant for pedestrians to walk on so they aren't in the middle of the road. When you're a college kid with little concern for your safety or other drivers, who cares about sidewalks!? I mean, it's not like they've been around since ancient times or anything and have caused cities to reconsider layouts to include space for safe walking. Sure, it's cool if you don't use the empty sidewalk 3 feet away and just walk in front of a moving two ton vehicle. It's fine, I'll just wait...
