-Push the beg button

-Cross the street with the light

-Driver barrels towards crosswalk ignoring person and light while looking at phone

But seriously, what the fuck is the point of beg buttons and traffic lights if we're still going to blame the pedestrian for getting hit by a car that isn't respecting the rules of the road? Fucking carbrained ass society.

What the fuck am I going to do with the sound of a car on a road??? I hear that all the time. All the time. Whether I'm crossing the street or not. I'm inside my house sitting at my computer right now and I can hear the sound of cars on the road. What exactly are you expecting me to do with the information that there is a car traveling down the road?! I know there is! There always is! I don't need to hear it to know that! That's why we have STREET LIGHTS and ROAD LAWS which mean that cars are supposed to stop traveling down the road in predictable situations such as WHEN THE LIGHT IS RED or WHEN IM CROSSING THE STREET


ITS A SIGNALISED CROSSING

HES THE ONE BREAKING LIKE MULTIPLE LAWS

eta: like literally tho how do you even equivocate between literally running a red light and hitting someone, and literally just using an actual pedestrian crossing

death to America (incl Canada)

She literally did nothing wrong, it's the drivers fault for looking down at his phone, the fuck

wearing 40 pounds of C4 with an impact trigger purely to uno reverse card the car that runs over me

Push the beg button and use the crosswalk? Who cares, if you wear a hoodie you should die.

I no longer cross at zebra crossings if a car is coming even if I have 'right of way', given how frequently drivers just blitz through. The other day I spoke to a lady in her 70s who was taking PT to the local shopping centre to do her exercise there, rather than walk around the neighbourhood, because a car clipped her walking frame when she was crossing with the lights and she cracked her skull.

Shit's fucked. I don't want to become roadkill. Carbrains have won.

This is the way things have gone here in the UK for the past few years. They look for excuses to let the driver off. A few years ago a cyclist got killed a few miles from where I live. He'd ridden up the bridge and the driver had hit him so hard from behind it'd torn his body apart. The cyclist was just riding to work to earn a pittance to support his family.The police kept coming out with excuses: "The sun was in the driver's eyes!" (The sun was coming from behind, and if so why didnt the driver slow down, use his shades?) "The cyclist should have had lights!" (It was fucking daylight, you cretins, plus witnesses said the rider HAD lights on!) "The cyclist had hiviz on but his backpack covered a small bit of it, making it impossible for the driver to see him!" (so he HAD hiviz on, it was visible, daylight and good visibility but the driver couldnt have gone into any of the other 2 lanes and avoided the guy?)

The courts upheld the Police's views and let the driver off

Ugh, ugh, ugh

Fuckin awesome that the people driving 5 ton death machines can try and equivocate walking around with slamming their death machines into people

Pedestrians should carry antimateriel rifles and destroy cars as they approach until all lanes are blocked in order to safely cross

Maximum Overdrive (1986) or something idk I’ve never seen it

If I had a time machine I'd go back and flay Henry Ford alive. Whose rolling coal now, motherfucker?

I dont know about your country but in mine its always been legal. All you gotta do is say it was an accident and you wont do any jail time.

Bout to do like that guy who carried a brick to prevent being splashed by drivers ripping through puddles, but just at all times

Fucking carbrains

 

There has been one in Florida for some time now to basically make it legal to plow into protestors with your SUV
