But to be Uber specific we used the signal controlled crosswalk and crossed with the signal in the painted, designated cross walk lane when a SUV attempted to run us over. Even more specifically, do automobiles have to yeild to pedestrians in a cross walk'? Why yes they do in every state in the union and every US possession. Still more questions? Florida statute 316.130(7) requires drivers to stop for pedestrians who are in a crosswalk with a walk signal.

Girlhopper please voluntary turn in your driver's license before you main or kill someone. You no longer have the ability to hold a license and safety share the road with the rest of us.
Can I assume since this occurred at Pinellas and 466A we are talking about Pinellas Plaza and the traffic light at the east entrance???? If you were crossing with the light, that means the SUV ran a red light. Is that correct???
