Like tbt said, a lot of time pedestrians are the ones at fault, by crossing against a light or by crossing without looking.
I’ve written this before on the CR, but as a teenager i once ran across an avenue, failing to look to my right, and ended up getting hit by a car. Completely my fault. The driver did no wrong.
Recovery took months & P/T took years.
Both driver & pedestrian have to be careful, and make sure in each situation, the blame is placed where it should be, without automatically faulting the other guy.
Of course, H-shm is the ultimate master of all, and nothing happens without a reason.
