[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Have you never driven a car in D.C. before? I don't know what happened in this incident but sometimes people are stupid or not paying attention and step into crosswalks, and in front of oncoming cars, at the last moment. My car doesnt go 30 mph to zero mph in one second. I've had to swerve into the other lane to avoid people in crosswalks being idiots. [/quote] You shouldn't be driving faster than 20 mph.[/quote] I think you're missing the point. Also, it sort of depends on the posted speed limit, doesn't it?[/quote] No, it doesn't. A speed limit is LIMIT and has nothing to do with stopping at crosswalks. I drive in DC all the time and I drive defensively and am constantly scanning to see if there are pedestrians approaching crosswalks. If that means I drive 20 MPH on 16th street because I don't have a full picture of the intersection then so be it, even though the limit is 30MPH there. [/quote]
