I drive around a lot.  And ever since I moved to a slightly more heavily-populated area than Hampton Township (holler), I see a lot of sidewalks.  Sidewalks are great because they enable people to walk or bike without being in the road and in the way of speeding cars.  In Hampton (and much of Sussex County), ditches and wide shoulders are used instead of sidewalks.  This means that cars either have to swerve, or pedestrians have to dive into some brush. 

In light of this information, I have a little announcement for walkers and bike riders:  USE THE SIDEWALK!  It's there for a reason:  So I don't have to slow down or swerve into another lane to avoid hitting you.  And though I'd like to hit some people for their lack of regard for larger and faster moving objects, I refrain because I'm aware of the damage it'll cause my car (and I don't really want to kill anyone).  I know that sidewalks can be a little bumpy, and sometimes they might go up and down when they cross a driveway, but maybe you pedestrians can take a little hit.  Take one for the team.  I know it's uncomfortable and inconvenient and totally against your way of life, but do something for someone other than yourselves.  Get off the road.  Use the sidewalk.
