No they were not already outside the sidewalk as I was entering it. As I was entering the crosswalk, the coast was clear for me to sail on through. But one person followed by 19 others decided to run in front of my car by about a car length forcing me to stop just as I reached them. I was still driving very slow because of the numbers of pedestrians in the area (about 5 mph) so I was able to stop without my brakes screeching.Of course someone could argue that since there were no cars or pedestrians in front of he, I shoukd have just acceleated to 25 mph, so as not to give them the opportunity to cut me off. However, I didn't realize that being cautious was a crime because had I been going faster and someone still decided to run in front of me, most likely I would not have been able to stop in time. Then things would have been much worse which is why I chose caution instead and proceeded slowly across the intersection. So am I still wrong or were the pedestrians wrong? |
