You took my remarks out of context. I was replying to an implied assertion that a jaywalking pedestrian deserves to be run over.And I suppose those turning cars were screeching around the corner at 30+ MPH? Nobody witnessed the approaching vehicle in either case. The standard operating procedure for drivers is to speed up to an intersection and enter it before a light changes. Any slowing down to look for pedestrians is an afterthought after the turn is started. Most intersections and crosswalks are designed so that a person within that crosswalk is not visible to a vehicle approaching that intersection in a direction parallel to the crosswalk. |
