Stopping for a pedestrian won't save their life when another car zooms by you in the next lane, while your car is blocking their view. A pedestrian in the road is an emergency.
- csomar 7y agoI'm not sure why you are downvoted. Jaywalking is bad for everyone: The pedestrians since it makes them at risk. The cars since it slows them down. Roads were made for cars and white cross-walks for pedestrians to cross them. If you don't like cars around, then remove the roads.
