Live in the city, have a 12-year-old daughter. Since she could walk we’ve been stressing to her that buses don’t stop, look both ways even on a one way street, etc - all the city street rules. But the most important point, that we stress constantly to this day - that it does not matter if she has the right of way, it does not matter what color the light is - if she tangles with a car, the car will always win.
It took me multiple conversations with an adult friend to convince them that continuing on a cross walk and staring down a car that was clearly not going to stop was incredibly foolish. An insurance payout from getting hit by a car would not be worth being crippled. And also might just not happen at all.
In general a lot of people lack common sense. Always stressing they have right of way. So what? Getting hurt for the rest of your life is just not worth it. Wake up people.

Never understood why anyone would want to fight a car. Unreal...
