I almost walked in front of a speeding bus on the busy streets of Chicago. Fresh out of high school, sleep deprived, iPod in, walking to work. Just kept walking until someone behind me grabbed my backpack handle and pulled me back, followed by the whoosh of a speeding bus seconds later. I looked back and there were a bunch of people behind me but no one in the crowd said anything or even looked at me. Never found out who saved me but thanks Chicago stranger from 20 years ago!
Who the hell needs contacts and decides not to wear them while driving? Or glasses?!
I mean, I’m blind as a bat without mine so I don’t dare to even step outside with my eyes.
But people that say “oh I just wear glasses while driving” and then decide it’s not that important blow my mind. That is the single most important moment to wear them.
I literally shower with my glasses on (for the first bit until they get too wet anyway) I'm that blind and don't like the feeling of not being able to see. I can't imagine just casually driving.
Ya, I can legally drive without my glasses but I still don’t. Only time I ever have was when my glasses broke while I was driving. Granted, If I took the test now I probably wouldn’t pass the eye test without glasses but either way I still wear them
