> Further, the report says that as long as Vasquez met the minimum visual acuity for a driver's license under Arizona law, and with the lighting conditions at the scene, she "could have seen and recognized that a person was walking across the road from a distance of 1700 feet away with or without the Volvo’s headlights."

- jeffbee 6y agoAs long as we're correcting this story, note also that "far from any crosswalk" is also completely bogus. The place where the woman was trying to cross is where a paved path leads from a beach, and then just suddenly ends at this road. The only reason it was illegal to cross the road here is because they put up a sign. In the absence of the sign, every architectural feature of this landscape would lead a reasonable person to believe they could be here. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4365905,-111.9426898,3a,75y,214.49h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGmI-XGwfzm2T_G8UX7Kc3g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4365905,-111.9426898,3a,75y,...
