I was speaking mostly as a pedestrian. The word 'victim' is offensive in this context. If I do drive in SF I do so at a snails pace as there are so many people there who chose to think the laws of physics are irrelevant to them and that if they are injured it is someone else's fault.
This goes back years and so does victim scamming: I was picking my (then young) son up on a rainy night from outside the Davies Symphony hall where he'd been performing in a youth choir. I fortunately saw a guy sneak behind my car and lie in the gutter: he hoped I'd reverse and touch him to get out of the parking space at which point he could cry out in pain and sue. Happens all the time. Who's the victim in this situation?
