I was exiting an area perpendicular to Commonwealth, so I had to pass through a road wherein one part is the large sidewalk along the highway. Before turning right and merging with the highway traffic, I was already looking left to see if there were any oncoming cars. Then from my right, here came these two men on a motorcycle counterflowing on the sidewalk... I was probably a few inches a way from hitting them. It did not help that the sun was brightly glaring from my right side, so I did not see them at all. Good thing I was able to stop before there was any contact. The guys gave me a bad look and I just gestured a sign of apology and left to proceed with my own business.
Now my question is, was what they did even right? Counterflowing along the highway's sidewalk where people are supposed to be walking? A short while after that close call, I thought about it and even considered that they would have been the ones wrong all along. I know I would have been partly to blame if we did make contact, but I think that their act of counterflowing on a highway sidewalk could also be a ground for argument.
