"California law says I've got right-of-way in crosswalks"
That's for the safety of the pedestrian in order to avoid confusion and make liability strictly fall on the shoulders of the party with the 2 killing machine.
Regardless of my legal right-of-way, though, I try not to be a jerk about it.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoIf you're about to cross a crosswalk, you're contributing to the attentional noise that drivers have to deal with. IMHO, just get out of the way so that fewer people have to make sure that they aren't going to hit you.
- crusso 11y agoI generally agree that doing a dance entering the crosswalk is unhelpful, but there are lots of cases where you can stand back and wait to enter the crosswalk in order to avoid making a car slam on its breaks.
