Comment on Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.
ExLisper@linux.community 1 year agoNo, it’s not. I’m the most responsible driver there is and even I draw the line here. When driving next to park cars I pay extra attention because someone may want to cross the road and walk out from behind a car but if someone hides behinds a bush and jumps out right in front of my car it’s not my fault. At night it’s my responsibility to drive below the speed limit and pay attention to the road but if some black ninja hides on the curb there’s not much I can do about it.

Uh, no, pretty sure it is legally your responsibility to be safe to everyone around you when driving. If you can’t so 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.
