Bad decision. The better decision is to allow the dumbphoners to walk out into traffic and remove themselves from the gene pool.
That would work on a macro basis, but not too well for the individual vehicle drivers who would be involved.
Twice this last week, while driving in a strip mall parking lot, I almost hit 2 different couples because neither one of them even looked before crossing the road in the strip mall. They didn’t have phones in their hands, they just didn’t look and walked right out in front of me.
No wonder people are getting run over everywhere.
