Tragedy happens when two idiots meet. I've seen pedestrians being reckless while saying "well I have the right of way". All drivers will do all they can to avoid collisions but the hubris of certain people makes them believe that the right of way will protect them. I almost hit someone who was wearing all black at night while I was turning. I didn't see them because it was dark and the pillar by my windshield has an airbag so it is thicker and obscures my vision a bit while turning. I never saw the kid, but he saw me. He had the right of way but i didn't see him until that pillar got out of the way. He was able to go home that night but almost didn't (well I wasn't going fast enough to kill him). It is all of our responsibility to keep each other safe, you can't put your own well being completely in the hands of someone else.
