DP.  I agree with the second poster that it was "nice" or good that you were in the crosswalk but that crosswalk isn't a magic barrier.  You can't depend on all drivers seeing you and pedestrians MUST take responsibility for themselves.  Certainly if you were hit and killed the driver would probably be cited...but you would still be dead.  So you can be right or you can be dead right.  It is a choice.  I'm not excusing the driver but I am saying that when I am a pedestrian, I am looking both ways and I am looking all ways.  It is something to think about.[/quote]
