[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't get it.[/b] People keep repeating that pedestrians need to be vigilant in crosswalks. They need to yield to cars EVEN if they, the pedestrian, have the right of way. But OP WAS being vigilant. When OP entered the crosswalk both roads were clear. This is in the city. You'd never get anywhere if you yielded to all the cars, even if you have the right of way. That's ridiculous. OP would still be waiting on the sidewalk right now if she did what you say.[/quote] The underlying idea here is that if you get hit (or almost hit), it must be your fault. You must have done something you shouldn't have done, or you must have not done something you should have done. Meanwhile the people doing the hitting - i.e., the people driving the cars - are being treated like the weather. Sometimes it rains. Sometimes people driving cars hit people. Can't be helped, nothing we can do, it's just how it is.[/quote]
