If you even believe the video is representative of what a human would see (which is totally false, as recent local videos of that stretch have shown), then the car was driving beyond its headlights. That's unsafe driving.
Deer are not reflective. Random objects that have fallen off a truck are not reflective. People are often not reflective, and there is no law requiring them to be.
And this woman was wheeling a bright pink bike, which shows up quite well. (It may also have had standard spoke reflectors, which might not show up in this video. hard to say.)
And finally, there weren't any crosswalks in that area for her to use. Yes, she misjudged the speed of the car, but her choice to cross the road at all is pretty solid.
- koreyb 9y agoWell there is a crosswalk at the light..intersection of Curry & Mill. What's interesting is the X paved walkway in the median. You can see it here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tempe,+AZ/@33.4364759,-111.9429782,241m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x872b0898a6aa80e3:0xa2dd4aad392cb41f!8m2!3d33.4255104!4d-111.9400054 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tempe,+AZ/@33.4364759,-111...

That's unsafe driving. This point needs to be understood by everyone discussing the issue.
