[quote=Anonymous]Even if the driver came to a complete stop as reported, they still need to look for peds, bikes, kids, etc. before proceeding through the intersection. If I’m at a stop sign and I see people approaching the intersection - whether walking or on bikes/scooters - I pause to see whether they are going to walk into the crosswalk. I don’t speed off to avoid getting stuck as they cross the street. Yet most of the drivers I see while driving and walking through the city do exactly that - they stop and then gun it to get through so that they don’t have to stop for the peds. If the little girl was going fast enough that she couldn’t stop or control her bike and rolled into the intersection, the question is: should the driver have seen her? Was the driver trying to take off too fast? Did the driver think s/he could pull through the crosswalk before the girl got off the curb? Coming to a complete stop does not exonerate the driver from all fault here. [/quote]
