I have never undersood why people would place their life at the mercy of my driving skills when a perfectly good sidewalk was available. If you walk in the street lane and I have a momentary distraction , you may be injured or worse. Same goes for opening car doors when parked at roadside and traffic is approaching from the rear. When I am in TV I walk or run almost every day and utilize sidewalks whenever available.
The issues is not a matter of rights , rather a matter of common sense.
