I remember that. It hit home because it has long been my fear that when I stop for someone in a crosswalk that I will actually be getting them killed. It has happened few times that some very annoyed driver has zipped around me when I stop for a pedestrian at a crosswalk.

I can imagine that as a Quora question. I drove into a commercial building at 50 mph at 8 am on a Sunday, knocked down a structural support and half the facade, and thereby forced the closure of multiple businesses, how do I appeal the ticket?

I'm sure this is a useful reminder.

Well played!. I initially got bombed for Karma points and down votes, which is almost reassuring, but I hope you come out ahead.

great clip!

Indeed, we could do list of questions like the ones above for pedestrians and cyclists.

Sadly, it seems true. In decades of area driving, I have yet to see an offender get stopped, let along ticketed.

I have seen it all happen, and it aggravates me, too. Especially when I fear that I am going to get someone killed by stopping for them at a cross walk. I now position myself so it is harder for the car behind me to zip around and hit the pedestrian.We could make a similar rule for bikes. The closest I've come to being hit by someone at full speed, it was by someone on a bicycle going against the light while I was on a cross walk with the walk sign on. I pretty much had to dive out of the way.
