fair point. being a cyclist, i look properly before crossing streets, making sure not to slow down any vehicles.. i'm sure all other cyclists do that same. it would help enormously if every single pedestrian did the same, too! still, assuming a pedestrian walks out at normal walking speed (and doesn't sprint out), a collision should be avoidable..
where does the law stand on this? i think 'jaywalking' isn't illegal here, so if a cyclist were to crash into and kill a pedestrian, wouldn't the rider automatically be presumed guilty?
