I would have been on the sidewalk but it was after dusk, so there would be risk of hitting pedestrians or potholes I didn't see. Also, the sidewalks here are much worse than the streets.

wwyd?
Well I wouldn't hold it against a driver who took me out because he was pulling out of a driveway and only looked in the direction of legal traffic.

I think what you are doing is a pretty poor idea.
