kestrellYes, there is an actual White Cane Law, which means drivers are supposed to stop. And don't think I can't tell when you do that weaselly move where you keep creeping your car closer to my cane.
Why do we have this law? Because drivers ignore other driving laws, such as not stopping in the middle of the crosswalk, no left turn on red, no passing a bus, no pretending that you can see around obstacles in the road without slowing down. If you had x-ray vision you would be wearing a red cape and blue tights.
If you want to hear some people being a whole lot nicer than me about this law, you can check out this online event.
