Here in Wash.D.C. they also have the right of way in a crosswalk. But every day i see lots headphoned iPhoning texters walking across a busy street in rush hour either not in a crosswalk or against the light w/o looking or even raising their head from the phone. Then they have the nerve to curse out the driver that had to lock their brakes. Should maybe there be an app that tells them to to stop and look. I’m sorry i don’t think the driver should shoulder all the responsibility to protect idiots from themselves. Back in the 70,s my dad was crossing in the middle of the block and got clipped by a taxi pulling a U-turn also in the middle of the block. Guess what, dad got a jaywalking ticket.the cab also got a ticket. Dad went and paid the fine the cabbie went to court to fight it, he lost. Stupidity has consequences.
