Better look both ways before crossing the street and never assume someone is going to stop until you make eye contact and they give you a signal.. because once you get hit and paralyzed/ded there's no punishment for the idiot that will bring you back to your original condition
This is good advise. I always make eye contact with drivers before stepping in front of there car
I used to work in a warehouse with a lot of forklifts and tuggers and while it's known pedestrians always have the right of way, the question is whether they see you to yield
I'd hope that they would maintain the zone of safety at all times. They also should have spotters if possible.
Looking both ways doesn't help when a car approaches at 74 fucking mph.
Don't look then..too bad we can't ask ol girl how it worked out for her huh? Have you ever heard how loud tires and engines are at that fast? Most likely she heard the car but brushed it off/wasn't paying attention or assumed the driver was planning to stop. For the record if it's not obvious in my first comment, the cop should be given a life sentence for what he did, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU ARE STILL DEAD/VEGGIE SO BE DUCKING CAREFUL, GOD DAMN!! lol
They found her noise canceling earbuds on the road next to her.
I agree it's stupid to walk around as a pedestrian with noise canceling anything on your ears, but it's the norm these days. Or what if she had been deaf? These people exist.
And you're coming awfully damn close to victim-blaming.
Wait, why blame her when the cop is supposed to drive the speed limit and watch where he's going and who's coming into a crosswalk? Don't teach cops how to drive safely, teach everyone else to get out of their way... wait, what?!
Ugh, fuck this whole species.
I'm not blaming anyone sweetie. People are and always will be reckless. You can teach all you want but at the end of the day most people including cops will speed, text, and eat while driving(among other things). Do whatever you want but I know I'm double checking when crossing no matter who's driving baby! You know what I mean jelly bean? What species do you like better out of curiosity?
I remember when people used to say "lock your doors!" to residents and "don't use ATMs at night". Now people are kicking down doors and robbing people in broad daylight. "Use 2 factor authentication" they say. Hackers laughed at that and smashed stacks to break in from the floorboards. "Look both ways" they say. Then you get hit by a super quiet electric car with no lights on.
You can look both ways and lock your doors and use ATMs in daytime all the live long day and someone will find a negligent or intentional way to end you. What always makes it WORSE is when they don't get punished. Especially cops.
Go build you a nice bunker somewhere and never leave pussy lol
Oh look at you, Mr. Keyboard Badass. I'm out and about and will continue to be long after long COVID has finished rotting your brain, which it apparently has started doing.
Thank you, I'm just out here doing God's work (aka my own lol) and trying to stay humble..Rawr! I'm a corona zombie! I'm going to get you my pretty and your little tendie too! Don't slip on your own puddle of piss.. 😉 I saw you the other day fyi
In another article the po-po was reportedly speeding to an incident with full lights and siren. It's like it was an emergency or something, which - now, this is just me - I'm thinking those lights could make that speeding car extra visible when they're going faster than the speed limit set for normal driving.
In one of the 6 other times this incident has been posted about, I read an opinion that suggested we can feel very sorry about what happened without making assumptions about either of the two victims here. Maybe that's a good idea.
