Who?

[TWR]

Who would you say causes pedestrian accidents with cars? Is it the driver or is it the Pedestrian?

[EcclesCake]

An impossible question to answer as every incident is different.

[Zacs-Master]

What a strange question. I can think of instances of both.

[Psybbo]

Jaywalkers?

[owdhamer]

Drunks.

[ummmm]

Well I got knocked over on a pedestrian crossing (green man was lit up) so it certainly wasn't my fault.

[snags]

Were you drunk though?

[mccfluff]

both

the route i walk to work i have to go through a very busy retail park which had a traffic light controlled roundabout, i often nearly get killed by impatient drivers ignoring the red light

but saying that i have also seen plenty of pedestrians walk out in front of cars

[bednobs]

why do you want to know?

[ummmm]

No Snags...I have never been drunk!!

[Mamyalynne]

either,either - neither, neither.

[Mamyalynne]

ummmm fibs.

[DTCwordfan]

I was killed by the driver.

[Zacs-Master]

My condolences DT.

[ummmm]

Mamy....shhhh....people might have believed me.

Seriously though, I was taking my son to school. He was knocked over as well, luckily he was on my right hand side.

[dotty.]

well in police terms a pedestrian is always in collision with a vehicle, not a car in collision with a pedestrian, or so it seems when you read police statements, which I think means that the car was moving faster than the pedestrian and so is in the controling situation. ?

[hogbody]

Pedestrian would be a simple answer.. but nob heads have being given a liescence to drive without due care and attention.

ermm think i'll change the track.

as a driver i've always being wary since some silly bitch tried to kill my bro at a red light crossing not paying attanetoin.

[ChuckFickens]

Can you seriously think there is an answer to your question, TWR?

Situation 1...A pedestrian runs out into the road right in front of a car travelling at the speed limit and is hit by the car.

Situation 3...A speeding car mounts the pavement and hits a pedestrian.

In the above two examples is it not obvious that a different person is responsible in each instance?

[ummmm]

It does make you very wary. I never step out now until the cars have actually stopped.

[ummmm]

What's situation 2?

[ChuckFickens]

That's a secret.... (I like to call the secret a typo)
