Also, it’s not San Francisco. It’s in most western countries and Israel included. Tell you what, brainstorm. Let’s have a test. You go run over someone who’s in front of your car who won’t move fast enough and we’ll give you a pass.

It's much simpler than that: it was an accident. And, yes, in all Western countries great many perpetrators of vehicular homicide are not prosecuted, let alone convicted, whenever the victim is him/herself at fault.

You are arguing against a straw man. IF the death was inflicted purposefully, the driver would be at fault. IF he showed gross negligence, he would be at fault. Everyone agrees with that. Except the premises are false. Firstly, the driver did not see her and, secondly, the circumstances made easy for that accident to happen (hence my remark about San Fransisco).
