[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pedestrian safety requires eye contact with the driver. Nobody in DC makes eye contact that is why pedestrians have so many problems. https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/motr/safe-crossings-the-power-of-eye-contact.html https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-key-to-crossing-the-street-safely-eye-contact-1427734205[/quote] AGAIN...how would eye contact have helped the OP who was deep within the crosswalk when a speeding driver ran the stop sign? [/quote] The OP saw the car ... 1/2 way down the street... the intersection in question allows for 2 car lengths at most. You tell me how the OP was not across the street in time. [/quote] The OP indicated she is using a cane at this time due to a torn meniscus. I'm sure that slowed her down. And do you know Hiatt? It's a very short block.[/quote] Yes. I thought she must have had a walker or something ... can't imagine that street being an issue. Yea... when you are handicap, you have to be extra vigilant. [/quote] Don't forget the car was speeding. So it took a shorter time for it to reach the intersection. And it blew through the stop sign. I'm tired of this "vigilant" crap. When pedestrians are obeying the law, the onus is on the DRIVER.[/quote]
