Does the burden of responsibility somehow physically protect a person jay-walking while texting?

  No, but people here want to feel like its always the cars fault.

    Because we rely on data that shows that in most injuries with pedestrians, pedestrian had the right of way. That’s just data. Cars are getting more dangerous, bigger, people are more distracted, and pedestrian deaths are increasing. Your experience is anecdata. Just look at hard numbers.

      Pedestrians always have the right of way. At least in some jurisdictions. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you're not a huge dumbass if you do it with no regard to common sense.
