    Pedestrian 118 is just idiotic. I understand car accidents can happen, but a pedestrian??? That tells me you purposely ignore crosswalks or drive recklessly in slow speed areaa

        I think they mean that drivers ignore crosswalks. I also first assumed they meant pedestrians ignore crosswalks, but in the context that doesn’t make any sense.

        And yeah, I agree. Car accidents with fatal outcome are expected in areas with high speeds, but those areas shouldn’t be where pedestrians usually walk. This makes 25% of road fatalities being pedestrians seem quite insane.

        No? Do you think it’s a sign of excellent driving that pedestrians are getting killed?
