When someone steps out 10ft in front of a car doing 30mph all the attentiveness and safety devices in the world won't make a difference. It's simple physics.

I agree, of course. That is far from the most common scenario.

In the most common scenario, it is the driver’s fault.

Of course there are exceptions to everything.

It's happened 3 times so far this year in my town of <100k.

[borski]

Out of how many pedestrian-vehicle collisions?

Anyway, I am not saying it never happens.

Drunk college kids acting stupid are like 80% if pedestrian accidents.

[borski]

Yes, and if you’re driving late at night near a college campus I’d recommend slowing down and being extra careful.

College kids are allowed to get drunk and act stupid.

You are still not allowed to hit them.
