Bear Season?

Is it just me or is Bear hunting season on? It seems that I nearly got killed twice yesterday. I nearly got run down twice when I was walking at the side of the road. Its not like I walk in the middle of the road or trying to cross a busy highway with one leg or something, I walk at the very side of the road and anymore I will have to walk the drain and yet a motorcycle without his headlights on (guess he must be emulating Takumi) and a speeding 4 Wheeler. What is it with driver's and motorcyclists these days? Is driving at the side of the road where there are pedestrians a trend now? Or they just want my handsome face as their hunt trophy to be displayed on top of their fireplace?
