Yep, young people on their phones are definitely the problem. Not dangerous drivers that kill thousands of people (mainly other drivers) each year. (infosec.pub)

Yes, absolutely, pedestrians have the right of way. But, pedestrians also need situational awareness when they are in the same vicinity as cars and trucks. Right of Way doesn’t do anything if some asshat driver isn’t paying attention and clips the pedestrian and/or kills them.

Edit: I am absolutely not defending the guy in the tweet. Pedestrians aren’t menaces.

I saw a comment the other day that was like "You can be right but you still get the wheelchair".

Also , if you want to murder someone, hit them with your car. Good odds you won't even be charged with a crime.
