>Second, as a veteran jaywalker, my rule of thumb is that if a car has to hit their breaks even a little, or otherwise alter their trajectory, you're doing it wrong. The goal should be smooth movement for all.
Generalize it more:
"If anyone else has to go out of their way to alter their trajectory to avoid you you're doing it wrong."
This applies to just about every road interaction between any two users regardless of type.

- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoIt's a clear right-of-way violation if your bad behavior forces someone with precedence to take action to avoid a collision. If you are a pedestrian, lawfully crossing in a designated place and time, you are the king of the road. Elsewhere you yield.
