For a pedestrian hit by a car, legal liability is often not the main concern.
- jeza 12y agoThough in some countries, hitting a pedestrian gets the driver an automatic jail term. Collisions with pedestrians don't happen all that often in such countries.
- troels 12y agoI'd still rather be the driver in that scenario (Which I believe was the parent's point)
- jeza 12y agoI think I'd rather be neither.
- droopyEyelids 12y agoI agree and I find that a far more civilized legal approach to cars, but I don't ever count on that happening in America.

- mikeash 12y agoIt's not the main concern for the pedestrian, but it may be for the driver. If legal liability is clearly on the driver then drivers will be more careful. At least, many will, even if not all.
