You grasp the tiniest of straws.

Absolutely not. Those are enormous straws…

What I tried yo explain you there was that there was no “into the traffic” there. People didn’t “wonder” on the streets.

  1. That is not what you said. What you said was, and I quote “You think: people who wonder on the street are to blame if they are hit.”

  2. If people are not “wandering into the street” then they are not “jaywalking”, are they?

People were the rule cars were the exception.

It doesn’t matter which one is which. The one that is “jay” is the one doing so without any regard for the rules, endangering themselves and other road users.

Imagine scooter manufacturers start to call people involved in the accidents like this something like “loonies” or “zombies”

That would be a completely different use of the word, since neither of these words mean “someone who operates scooters carelessly and without regard for the rules”, as jaywalking does.
