My Position On Pedestrian Right Of Way

A day or two ago, two students were killed crossing a street while on their way home from campus. A lady in a minivan didn't see them. The front of the van lifted them up, and then the windshield threw them into the air.

While I believe that pedestrians have the right of way, it is absolutely imperative that you as a pedestrian LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET! The motorist should stop but if they don't you will die.

Think about it, when you are driving around town, how many of the other drivers are idiots? 50%? 60%? They don't become better drivers when you get out of your car. They still talk on their cell phones and put on their makeup.

Please pay attention to the world around you.
