Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Jan 12 22:28:36 2007, in response to Re: He was in my class, posted by David of Broadway on Fri Jan 12 16:26:25 2007. Wrong. A driver on a city street should always expect a pedestrian to step into the street and should always be prepared to take corrective actionOf course, and I am saying it's an oversimplification to say that every driver even if 100% alert to everything around them CAN stop in time. That is simply false. I don't think Sean had the power to disappear and reappear at will. He didn't, but it still is an oversimplification to say that the driver was perfectly able to see that materializing, even if 100% alert. I don't know if the driver was completely at fault or only partly at fault. But he was at the very least partly at fault, since he was behind the wheel of the car. I never said he wasn't at least partly at fault, but it's not simply because he was in a car. Any pedestrian can be standing perfectly still, and then just decide to start walking without realizing there is a car coming, especially when earing a headset where street noise is minimized. (again, not necessarily what happened here) |
