He was unable to control his vehicle to avoid hitting a person -- despite being at or very close to a stop sign.If all you look at is the road directly in front of you, then, yes, you'd need to drive at about 10 mph to avoid hitting a pedestrian. So don't look only at the road directly in front of you. Look further ahead and scan the sides of the street for pedestrians, for parked cars and their doors, for bicycles, etc. Also, continually keep in mind what's on either side of your car and try to maintain an escape path to the left or right, if possible, so that braking isn't your only potential response to something unexpected. But, then again, there must be something wrong with me, since I stop for stop signs, and I think drivers who don't should be ticketed, even when they don't hit pedestrians. |
