The-Snowman:
Ive long since believed that if you change the rules and make the pedestrian responsible for if they get knocked down rather than the motorist then pedestrian incidents would be drastically reduced.
Much like with cyclists, when you place the entire onus of responsibility and blame onto one party it creates a culture of complacency

if you drive a car down a pavement and splatter a pedestrian,or down a cycle track and create an organ donor,then you would certainly be deemed to blame.
shouldnt it work the same way if a pedestrian gets creamed on any road deemed suitable to have to pay road tax on??
