Pedestrians walking around staring at their phones have made the streets less safe for pedestrians, as have drivers staring at their phones.
IMO that phenomenon completely confounds any attempt at assessing real-world vehicle-pedestrian safety against older statistics.
- lifestyleguru 1y agoWhat's even more dangerous for pedestrian is SUV driver staring at their phone.
- CamperBob2 1y agoExactly. It also doesn't help that cars are harder to see out of these days.
- caycep 1y agoSuch a deference of responsibility. The world and the community should absolutely prioritize pedestrians. The driver operating a 5000 lb dangerous weapon should 100% be the responsible for the consequences.

- s1artibartfast 1y agoIf I walk into someone's kitchen, stick my hand in a blender, and turn it on, should the owner be responsible? Fault obviously can obviously go both ways. A large portion of pedestrians are drunk, jaywalking on highways and freeways.
