    someone decided to walk behind a reversing vehicle that was leaving the parking space then proceeded to blame them

    You mean someone backed their car into a pedestrian without making sure the way was clear?

      You might have forgotten over half of all people are idiots. Driver and pedestrian alike. No excuse for the driver not looking out being the liable one, but a lot of people walk right into shit because they’re either: not paying attention, think if something happens they can sue for money, or are frankly idiots.

        I bike or walk everywhere I go, so I’m familiar with having to watch out for drivers. That being said, I think the person operating thousands of pounds of steel bears more responsibility than anyone just walking around. You’re controlling a machine capable of killing people, you should really pay attention to what you’re doing.
