[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The car passed a stopped car at a marked pedestrian crossing.

CRV driver at fault.

If that girl died I am betting vehicular manslaughter[/quote]
True. 
Also true: the parents here could have avoided the near miss entirely by exercising prudent cautioun (though not required by law and as would have been done by at least 90% DCUMers, if this thread is any measure). 
It’s your choice. For me, I’d rather take the extra time so my family gets home safely. [/quote]

It still would have been a near miss.  That SUV was speeding past the stopped car and into the crosswalk.  The adult would have been a few feet farther into the crosswalk is all.  [/quote]
You wait till the cars are stopped or it’s all clear. You don’t walk if you see an SUV speeding towards the intersection. These crosswalks are crazy and you cannot trust the driver sees you or will stop. Why are people intent on arguing that there was just nothing more the parents could have done here? When it’s my kid in the crosswalk, I don’t care that the SUV driver will be found liable. [/quote]
