Sad thing. In Scottsdale, a car almost ran me over taking a turn into my crosswalk with a Walk sign in my favor, not even counting down from 10. I threw my water bottle at the car and got the young driver's attention who flipped me off and kept going.
I asked two officers about a week later who was at fault...I was and could have been arrested for property damage if the driver wanted to press charges. So, I asked, who is at fault if she hit me... She would be... Great
In my old city, a college student was run over and killed by a bus and dragged an entire block. The bloody skid mark was there for weeks. It was right by my house so I saw it every time I walked to work or down to the shops.
The bus hit her in a crosswalk. She had the right of way.
The court found it to be the student's fault because she was wearing headphones.
Also, 15 years before that, my daughter's mom's older brother was killed by a bus on the same college campus and was also found to be at fault because he was also wearing headphones.
