Uh, no, pretty sure it is legally your responsibility to be safe to everyone around you when driving. If you can't do that, don't drive a car.

Even to suicidal people that jump in front of cars on purpose? BS

Yes.

If you're operating a piece of heavy machinery at high speeds, "But they ran into road!" is not an excuse.

Are you trolling? Absolutely no one would agree with that. You can't simply absolve pedestrians of all responsibility. It's so stupid I can't even argue with that.
