I think you might be reacting too strongly? Take a step back, and rather than making this a victim/perp situation, look for anything that can mitigate the end result. Some of that is changing how people drive, but some of it could also be how people walk -- at least when they are crossing roads. Texting on your phone while going across a sidewalk definitely increases the risk. And it doesn't matter if you're right and the driver is wrong, because you're still dead either way.

The strong reaction is from being used to getting blamed whenever a car and its driver slaughter someone. Now is the season for the reflective band discussion. Where pedestrians are being told they will be mowed down if not wearing any. Of course we will wear them, but that always moves the discussion away from the true problem areas. Pedestrians having to walk in the street because there is no curbside walkways, drivers driving too fast to be able to react in time, drivers not removing ice from their windows and lots of other factors contributing to accidents. But no, lets blame those getting hit.

I don't think so. There's a victim in this situation, and it's never the driver.
