It is important to remember that, in America, running people over with your car can be considered a political expression, and therefore covered by the laws protecting free speech.
This much I know. In California, Pedistrians have the right of way. You can walk in the middle oof the the road and cars still legally need to stop for you. On this point, an interesting scam happenedin San Francisco in which a neighborhood ganged together to set up one them to get hit by some tourists car and then all of them would say it was the drivers fault, and then sue the shit out of them. With the right lawyers, Pedistrians would rule California.
nope. California pedistrians rule the streets with an iron fist!
on the scam, I'm not so sure. I heard it as a rumor. Apparenly it was in a neighborhood near the Giant's stadium, they'de get someone who was leaving after a game.
crushing those dumb enough to step out in front of two tons of speeding metal is doing your part for natural selection. remember, you only risk losing control of the car if you apply the brakes.
glad i don't live in california. and yes, i've been hit by a car while jaywalking -- clearly my fault, i apologized to the terrified girl and continued on to class. that which doesn't kill me merely prolongs the inevitable.
Living in california teaches you how to be a world class jaywalker. It teaches you important skills like timing alertness, and to fear and respect the road.
Can't speak for CA, but living in London certainly gave me extreme jaywalking skills. Those Black Cabs? Stop for nobody fool enough to wander into their paths...
its been invented. It was called, "Truckasaurus". The the first and last of a noble breed. It feed of smaller preditory vehicles and Pedestrian fools who were close enough to feel its wrath.
