THEN talk about you feeling all sympathetic for those poor peaceful pedestrians. Let alone having to undergo it every day because you have to make deliveries in the area...
I creamed a pedestrian once about seven years ago. His family tried to sue me twice. Both times my insurance company just responded and said they would be handling the case if it went to court. Both times I got a letter and nothing more. The j-walker was clearly in the wrong.
We need to quit holding drivers accountable for any collision with a J-walker. Problem solved.
It’s the same here in Boston.Between Northeastern,the two
conservatories,the streets are jammed with pedestrians.
You have some kid walking across the street,with his head
buried in his I-phone and is shocked....shocked!! when he comes this close to being hit buy a car.
Handing out tickets for jaywalking, isn’t the worst idea
I’ve heard of.
The city, who lacks the ability to plan a space, sets up an impossible situation, then takes peoples money. Sounds like good gubment to me.
If they planned the spaces correctly, no revenue.
San Jose can be a hazardous place for drivers near the U at pretty much anytime. And those dratted students are nasty to cars ‘in their’ way.
I wonder if there was the same sympathy for drivers who were cited for driving through a crosswalk when the pedestrian was almost to the opposite curb? That is unacceptable but people crossing the road anywhere they want is ok? There have been multiple deaths/injuries near my tract because of “people” running out across the street illegally in front of traffic to cross the street and the driver has to live with the consequences.
