I've been driving for nearly 60 years and have a perfect driving record, (well, except for one tiny mishap on 441 in South Florida when I was having a Big Mac attack. Had a fender bender but it was NOT my fault). You want me to stop driving? I don't think so.
The moment a pedestrian steps off the curb, drivers better make sure you don't hit them. You don't know why they did it, but there could be a good reason. You have the obligation to avoid hitting them.
