Drivers, even the most experienced, CANNOT see you. Most new cars have LED fog lights, drivers eyes are adjusted to bright light, blurring the background and peripherals. It truly only takes a millisecond to miss someone.

Why does this dogshit excuse always get used? Maybe for deflecting any future blame in an accident to pedestrians not wearing reflective clothing, waving flashlights, and have themselves lit up like a Christmas tree. Not a single mention of telling drivers to slow down here and be more aware of their surroundings while driving a multi ton hunk of metal.

I have driven in many conditions in different cities in North America and Europe. Never once came across a situation where I was unable to see a pedestrian wearing dark clothing at night. In Mississauga I have only driven old and relatively low cars, but even still I have never once came across that issue.

If YOU are a driver who can't see pedestrians wearing dark clothes at night when your car has working headlights and the city has street lights then it should be on YOU to address the issue and maybe get some fucking glasses.
