This is exactly what I do, but the dopey law encourages people to just walk out in front of a moving car, ass-uming that the driver is sober enough to stop for him.

We were taught to never assume another driver would do what's right. Rather, assume he could be drunk or road raged....like assuming all stoves are hot and all guns are loaded.

Now it's the opposite. SMH.....
