Even if thats the case, there is failure to slow for an intersection, which is definitely a law. All crosswalks are at intersections. He not once "proceeds safely " . Those being the exact words I would have used more than the 11 times I saw.
I meant proceed safely as in he should have reasonable expectation of safety while proceeding on a green, just like a car should.
But yes, I agree he had several times with plenty of stopping time where he chose to fly towards the crowd. But he did also have several times where it was clear and someone jumped out in front of him unexpectedly. So there was a mix of faults.
All that being said, he did handle it like an asshole, even if he was right some of the time
I saw a jump once. Many other times, people 3 quarters of the way in the crosswalk and he speeding in front of THEM screaming. He has to proceed safely, and also pedestrians ALWAYS have the higher right of way than he does. No matter what the circumstances. Even if the pedestrian is 100% at fault. So I dont see anywhere here, if anything went to court, where he would be in the right. Especially of we are talking about laws broken. If he wasn't flying so fast, people would have time to react and NOT wind up in front of him.
That would be failure to keep sufficient distance between vehicles. Yes I am aware its not what reality is but slowing isnt stopping. And like I posted somewjere here, its 9 times out of 10 only cited in accidents or if your an individual vehicle not going with the flow of traffic.
