When I was stationed in CA almost thirty years ago, the police would cite drivers who didn’t hit the brakes when a pedestrian stepped out to cross a 45 MPH four lane road.
I suspect the people run over in FL are newbies who think they have the right of way in all situations.
We educate way to much along the lines of pedestrian right of way... rather than look both ways before you cross the street.
Who cares who is right if you’re busted up or worse as a walker.
