You are 100 % right in theory, but imagine this:
A walker that is minding his/her own business walking with back to traffic or on the right side of pathway but with head phones on and head in the clouds. Distracted cart driver runs over the non-attentive walker and kills the walker dead.
I would rather go the extra mile to protect myself than I would want to walk where and how I wanted, but be in the morgue. Laws are guidelines that some of us break on purpose and that some of us just make a mistake and do not follow. I vote for not getting too deep into I GOTS ME RIGHTS.
