This is what they teach you on bike school. Yes, the driver who kills you in a crosswalk would be liable. But so what?  [b]Posters here who’d rather be right and dead[/b]. ....[/quote]

Nobody has said that on this thread. In fact, nobody in my entire experience of discussions of transportation safety has ever said this. "The driver broke the law" is not a preference for being right and dead; it's a factual statement that [b]the driver broke the law.[/b][/quote]
On the other side says:  So what?  Your small child is dead and here’s what you could have done in this scenario to prevent the accident. 
A very hollow victory to strive to have the last word be “the driver broke the law.”  [/quote]

The last word for the driver would be "You killed a child." Would you be ok with that, if it were you? To go through the rest of your life knowing that you killed a child as a result of your own carelessness?[/quote]
You’re ridiculous. But ok, I feel confident parents would feel worse and have a harder time in life that the driver. But you’ll probably just disagree to disagree. In this clip, the driver was absolutely wrong. And the parents could have prevented the near miss in this case. [/quote]

I don't think many people in this thread can handle that both parties are in the wrong.  They want 1 right and 1 wrong.

OTOH I am glad OP posted this because it's bringing awareness. [/quote]
