We were taught as children to not walk in the traffic nor step out in front of moving vehicles to cross the street.

Also, we were taught that if a vehicle is coming toward you and it looks like they're going to hit you, you get the h*ll out of the way!!!!!!

It's common sense....until we get here.

Here people seem to think they can walk in the traffic and stay as they are if a vehicle is coming at them, and if they get hit and made into roadkill, they say to themselves, "I was right".

You might as well have a tombstone made that says, "I had a right to walk in the traffic."
