[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not naive... I don't walk in front of a moving car... and I accelerate to a jog if I'm already in cross walk and see a car approaching... momma didn't raise an (entitled) dummy. [/quote] But they have to stop. Its a law! [/quote] It’s not an issue of black and white. A pedestrian can be found (or contributorily negligent) at fault if they step directly in the path of an oncoming vehicle without affording the driver an opportunity to yield taking into account the relevant circumstances such as whether the driver was otherwise obeying all traffic laws. Absolutists fail to account for drivers distracted by the nature of current technology. Things were much simpler without touchscreen controls, maps, mobile devices. Never assume that you have been seen and the driver will yield. [/quote]
