I’ve been driving with both hands on the wheel and my eyes roving the road and I’ve still just barely seen someone at the absolute last second because they are wearing nothing but dark colors and have a hood up or a dark hat on. Some of these deaths are due to the pedestrians not making themselves visible enough at night and stepping out into traffic assuming they can be seen.

yah I tried to suggest some of the responsibility or fault falls on pedestrians behavior on other posts but got tons of push back claiming it's solely due to unsafe, distracted or bad drivers, and you're right, there are blind corners, people who step right out into traffic with no signal, notice or anything; not saying this is the cause but it is definitely a factor people need to stop denying
