    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.
