[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this straight-I'm driving the speed limit, looking forward mostly but also around and someone walks out suddenly into the street at night wearing all black and I hit them it's my fault?????? That 's some strange ass logic there.[/quote]

If you had adequate time to stop (given the weather conditions) and you didn't because you were not paying adequate attention or were driving too fast for the weather and light conditions, then yes, it's your fault.   The speed limit isn't a minimum -- you can be ticketed for going too fast for road conditions.  You know that intersections are coming up, it's your job to be aware.  (If they literally jumped in front of you, then no, it wouldn't be your fault.)

But it's just nuts to me that someone asks drivers to be extra careful in the rain, and a bunch of people come on and try to assert that they are right and justified to hit pedestrians. No, you're not.  If you can't drive safely unless pedestrians are lit up like Christmas trees, then you can't drive safely.  [/quote]
