Is this fair or fukked up?

Been driving since I was 12........ that didn't look like a type of street where pedestrians should have the right of way in my opinion........ if that's the casethey are definitely fukking the people and should have an intersection/signal light there......
Just my opinion......

You did not see that clear as day crosswalk? The crosswalk was huge, white, and easily seen.

fair

dont speed

Sooo pedestrians walk into oncoming traffic at any time they want and you supposed to......stop?!

Unless there is a signal, pedestrians always have the right of way. They were in the process of crossing, and had to stop because the car wouldn't yield. Most cops are lighting you up for that.

They're shooting up and popping dillies in the tent city around the corner.

That's not against the law in Canada. Mind-blowing to see in Vancouver.

It being there doesn't mean they have the right of way. There are a ton of stipulations, which is why the video is confusing. All they hesi they was doing probably confused the shyt out of the driver.....

In broad daylight. You can’t easily see that at night or pedestrians.

They should have some type of stop light or flashing yellow light at a minimum. That looks like a 3 lane one way street. And the average speed could be 35 mph. If someone decides to be unpredictable and run across ain’t now way a car can stop in time.

You obviously don't understand the traffic laws.

At a crosswalk loke that you ALWAYS yield to crossing pedestrians.

You said that as an absolute when there are variables for location time and any other number of things........

What i said applies to the specific crosswalk we watched in the video

I can't comment on other unseen hypothetical crosswalks with unnamed variables

The way I look at it. Even if the pedestrian is wrong, they're right. I was taught not to drive for myself, but everyone else.

You’re just wrong and don’t want to admit it. It is the law! Plain and simple. Look it up. No variables. If people are present, they have the right of way.

It's fair. Pedestrians were on a zebra crossing so they need to stop.

Looks like a crazy place to have a zebra tho but that's another story

 

[CarolinaKing]

That looks like a terrible fukking spot for a crosswalk

It was broad daylight though. I am arguing what is presented before us, not possibilities that are not evident in the video.

Rights of Pedestrians in Virginia, pedestrians have the right of way: On all sidewalks. At any crosswalk. Most US states follow similar right of way laws.

The Rights and Responsibilities of Pedestrians in Virginia

If you’re a pedestrian hit by a car in VA, you’re entitled to compensation for your damages, but you must prove the motorist’s complete liability. We can help.

Pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk unless a peace officer or traffic control device directs otherwise. This means that even if the crosswalk is unmarked, vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians. Alberta, Canada

Oh look, Canada seems to have similar laws.

I suggest you re-read the laws in your area, because I am pretty sure they are the same there if where you live is in the US or Canada.
