People are run over by trains the same way. Is it Darwin or Murphy that’s thinning out the herd?

Just make it illegal to strike a pedestrian crossing the street while talking on a phone. If the law existed before, she probably would have lived.

We had a 20 year old girl killed here last year when she walked out in front of a light rail train wearing her Ipod headphones with a hoodie pulled down over her head. She ignored the flashing lights, ringing bells, and walked around the barricade and right in front of the train. She never knew what hit her.

AH! No SUV involved, so it must be the distracted pedestrian’s fault.

LESSON OF THE DAY: Stick with what's safe - land line telephones.

The pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way in most places ~ when you visit DC you'll probably pick up a couple of $1300 tickets for "cutting off a pedestrian" if you imagine they DON'T have the right of way. The marked pedestrian crosswalks are just for decoration! They own the whole road.
Plus, when they enter the road on a green they get green all the way across ~ not just half way. The cops give tickets in MD, VA and DC on that one when a car darts across before a pedestrian has cleared the road.
New York is different. They cross in the middle of the block as a matter of course and I know a New Yorker who once pulled a jaywalking ticket in downtown DC for the middle of the block trick. Which means this ~ even though the pedestrians around here are jaywalking, and can be ticketed for it, you as a motorist are simply not permitted to run them down.

I always love the old cartoon about the lion club meets here. Bam!!!

We have the same laws in Washington State. That doesn’t prevent the occasional motorist who doesn’t see the arrogant jerk crossing against a red light.

honestly... I see folks everyday talking on their phone, walking and not paying the least bit of attention to cars. these folks step out into the street, without looking, just expecting cars to yield to their power..You see them everyday? Or every day?
