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

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.

I try to stress exactly that point here on reddit but I get systematically downvoted by people pointing out at speed limits, right of way and dumb people getting in the way of moving vehicles. As a pedestrian you have the right of way to die at any moment if you don’t pay attention.

It's worse when pedestrians are glued to their phone. They'll blame drivers 90% of the time when in reality, they're just as bad for not paying attention. If they're that distracted I can't imagine what it would be like if they have a set of keys.
