[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ If a pedestrian crosses a roadway at any point other than in a marked crosswalk, or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, the pedestrian shall yield the right of way to any vehicle.”

So the driver has the right of way BUT

“ Drivers shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrians or bicyclists and shall give any audible signal when necessary. Extra precaution is required for children and any obviously confused, incapacitated or intoxicated person.”

Since you aren’t an unbiased narrator I can’t say for sure whether she’s crazy or you were overly aggressive. If I was the pedestrian I would have waited to cross, if I was driving I would have stopped and waited for them to cross. I generally take the more conservative approach. [/quote]

It sounds like OP folllwed the law. She had the right of way, but exercised caution around children by slowing. She didn’t have to stop, but she did when the mom decided to usher her children to jay walk. Pretty entitled to then yell at OP on top of it.[/quote]
