Well, if the car doesn't hit you, then clearly there was enough time for the driver to yield :) So you get get punished if it hits you? Or how does this work..

  Yes. If the car hits you because you stepped out in front of it and the car did not have time to stop while going the speed limit with a driver paying attention to the road, the pedestrian is at fault and can be ticketed. If you don't survive the encounter, at the very least the driver doesn't receive a ticket.

    which is completely fair and reasonable. I expect HN to disagree, because cars are a blight on the world or something.
