Texting while using crosswalk
I have a legal right to cross which protects me from being crushed by 15 tons of metal, so I don't bother looking up from my phone and observing my surroundings.

You have a legal right, but don't you think a bit of self preservation should come in first place...
There are times when the light changes quickly, it's slippery, snowy, icy or wet and a big vehicle like a bus, or truck is approaching and can't stop on time. What if an emergency vehicle goes through?
Do you start crossing the road immediately, cause it's your right? If you say yes - you are an idiot.
I always look before I cross the road. I always look, before setting off when I'm driving and the lights turn green.
Traffic lights can not prevent accidents under certain circumstances. And your bullshit "right" ain't gonna save your life if a semi can't stop in time and turns you into minced meat.
But hey, you do you. Natural selection exists for a reason...
Great response! What good will it do you that you "had the right of way!" If you are dead?
Hell yea I'd theres cars around my happy ass stands there till the light pops up and I walk that stupid thing twice a day 6 days a week. I know its time. 11 second delay after the traffic stops. My ass ain't getting hit
I almost got hit by an ambulance because I wasn't paying attention. Ironic but I was just holding them up from someone else.
Damn, are you stupid.
First thing you learn.
Might makes right.
Learn your place.
If something can definetly hurt you, give it the right of way.
in person: mike tyson.
On a bicycle: a car.
In a car: a truck.
In a truck: a Semi.
In a semi: a train.
Get it?
You DO NOT have the right of way unless you can physically stop, hold back, or overpower something in your path.
Go talk to someone in a wheelchair.
Your " right of way " wont replace your legs.
Also put on a blindfold, ear plugs...block all the senses...it'll be an experience.
So you are going to trust the idiot behind the wheel that just got done smoking weed or drinking more than anyone person should drink or smoke at once ? Or what if a driver is driving and texting ? You should know by texting and walking g you are pretty much putting your life in the line by not looking for the idiots yourself.
I am losing g my vision, I cannot drive safe anymore. But when I cross a street I always look for idiots. they don't care. All they care about is
1) they are in front of everyone else.
2) that they get where they are going. And they don't care about you and your life.
3) If all else fails read 1 and 2 again.
You have right of way in most cases, but not all. Emergency vehicles don't have to stop for you. And they don't always have their sirens on. I'm sure if they hit you there would be a lot of digging after the event to check what went down, and maybe someone would get into trouble, but you would still be dead...
Maybe if you get a law passed stating you can fly, you can jump off a tall building. Words in a book changes the laws of nature, every sorcerer knows this.
