street hazards - fresh direct

In the race for most dangerous vehicles on the streets of New York, moving into third place behind taxis and take-out delivery bicyclists is Fresh Direct trucks. This morning I was almost clipped by one that was trying to beat the light to make a turn. The company must pressure its drivers to make as many deliveries as swiftly as possible per hour, because I see these trucks flying, careening and darting around narrow residential streets in the City as if they were on the open road. I am surprised we don't hear of fatal accidents on the news on a regular basis.

Well, it's "fresh" & "direct" for a reason.

I know... of little solace to you, but otherwise they'd be "stale" & "slow".

Heh... a hit-&-run fruiting.
