Not surprising - in Jersey now the pedestrians have the right of way - cars are supposed to stop for anyone walking into traffic - so especially in shopping districts people just step out into the street often without looking thinking cars will automatically halt for them - but it just doesn’t work that way all of the time.....

Why did the jerk driving this car wait until the last second to step on the brake? It was obvious that the other jerk was going to cross in front, or at least it was a very good possibility.

Sounds like smartphones need an excise tax like cigarettes.
