I bet you’re as good at mowing down pedestrians as you are strawmen.

But, what point are you even trying to make with this one? That people are flinging themselves into the street at the last second as a car is speeding towards them? Maybe it’s worth taking a step back and ask why you’re not being taken seriously?

Go to any city or town center and spend an hour watching the intersections if you want a handle on the actual behavior here. Cars rarely stop for someone with their hand up at an intersection. Speeding on commercial and residential streets is as ubiquitous as it is everywhere. Distracted driving is rampant and not at all equivalent to someone walking on their phone. If you think the problem is people diving into the street at the very last second as a car is coming you’re living in a fantasy bubble.
