But dude, you hit a mother. =/ You're lucky they're not going to try and hang you.
Stop trolling. Drivers need to stop when pedestrians are in the crosswalk or they end-up going to court and losing their shirts.
Is it still trolling if you seriously believe it? I don't believe people need to be in a road, or crossing a road in uncontrolled intersections. If it's an uncontrolled intersection, build a fucking walkway over it.
All I'm really saying is that the OP is gonna get WTFPWND in court.
You're trolling b/c you're trying to be funny unless you really are this ignorant and don't know the rules of the road and should not be allowed to drive. Pedestrians in a crosswalk(marked or unmarked) have the right of way.
Since Raduque is in Tex-Ass, he's sort of right...
"552.003. PEDESTRIAN RIGHT-OF-WAY AT CROSSWALK. (a) The
operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian
crossing a roadway in a crosswalk if:
(1) no traffic control signal is in place or in
operation; and
(2) the pedestrian is:
(A) on the half of the roadway in which the
vehicle is traveling; or
(B) approaching so closely from the opposite half
of the roadway as to be in danger.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a),
a pedestrian may not
suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and proceed into a
crosswalk in the path of a vehicle so close that it is impossible
for the vehicle operator to yield.
(c) The operator of a vehicle approaching from the rear of a
vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to
cross a roadway may not pass the stopped vehicle.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, effective. Sept. 1, 1995.
552.005.
