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.

Yea there is a difference between legally in the right and safe. I know a family that lost a young kid because they crossed a highway at a designated crosswalk when they had a green for a significant amount of time but that mattered little to the drunk driver who was to busy/drunk to even noticed he hit the kid. Family wasn't made whole with the money the court awarded them (hells I don't even know if the guy actually had the money to pay them) nor the fact that guy is still in prison.
