1. The person in the car is also a person, why shouldn't they have right of way.
2. That's not how it works in other countries. Pedestrians do not have right of way in the UK if not at a marked crossing.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> Pedestrians do not have right of way in the UK if not at a marked crossing. Yes they do - look at the case law in practice. For example Brushett v Hazeldean (that was cyclists but it's being interpreted as cars as well.)
- fastball 6y agoI have. They do not have the right of way. Vehicle operators merely have a high duty of care which can supersede right of way. Also, the case you reference was a case of a pedestrian crossing at a designated pedestrian crossing, so I don't understand how that's relevant to your point – if anything it supports mine.
