They were doing 60 in a 35 zone while not wearing their seat belts. You're right that it's bad that they're severely injured, because the only way the driver is going to lose their license for as long as they should (forever) would have been to be killed.

Yes it would be good if idiots were not allowed to drive cars, I agree.

Actually it would just be better if no cars.

wonder if the driver will get a $200 fine and be free to go like every other time a driver tries to kill a pedestrian. Should help answer whether cars or cops are the more important thing in America.

I'm glad they established he blew 0.0. (and mentioned it didn't preclude other drugs.)

Possibly one of the few pieces of good journalism our local right-wing rag did ages ago, they showed how people driving to work in the morning could still be severely inebriated after a bender the night before.

edit: lol I was looking for a Toronto Sun article, but this works too: https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/7864889/drink-driving-morning-after-how-long-to-sober-up/

yeah i'd love to see if the first cop to talk to the driver gave him the same "aww was it an oopsie? did all those recruits come out of nowhere? were they maybe jaywalking or impeding your clearly safe driving? don't worry buddy" routine that drivers normally get

Pennsylvania state law says any perpendicular curbs are crosswalks where drivers have to yield to pedestrians

also don't try to actually use them because you will be murdered and the driver will get off with zero charges.

Definition of a Crosswalk
• Title 75, Section 102, defines “Crosswalk” as:
(1) That part of a roadway at an intersection included within the
connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides
of the highway, measured from the curbs or, in the absence of
curbs, from the edges of the traversable roadway; and in the
absence of a sidewalk on one side of the roadway, that part of the
roadway included within the extension of the lateral lines of the
existing sidewalk.
(2) Any portion of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere
distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other
markings on the surface.

Yeah its a thing here in seattle and i've literally never had a driver honor one. I used to have to cross a 4 lane to get to my bus stop every morning and it was at a 3 way and basically just playing frogger.

There were no lit cross walks for at least a quarter mile in either direction from this bus stop. I once came a hair away from getting run over by a loving car driving in the dark and rain with no lights on at like 5am.

I mean, this is a marked crosswalk without a traffic light and I've had a guy drive around me into opposing traffic so he didn't have to stop.

The other day a bus driver got pissy with me for using one and starting turning while I was still in his path. He'd slowed to a stop before turning, so I wasn't even being "aggressive" about it.

Ignoring an unmarked crosswalk is legal, after all it's not marked! However if you use paint to mark an unmarked crosswalk that is extremely illegal. If you do this you may fool people into believing it's safe to cross at this legally recognized crosswalk. Furthermore we're all very upset that you think we don't give a single poo poo about pedestrians.

yesterday i almost got into a wreck because some idiot rear end in a top hat in the left lane decided to suddenly make a right turn into a fast food parking lot, directly into the path of my car. thankfully i was not going very fast and nobody was behind me, so i slammed on my brakes and avoided a crash. otherwise i would have tboned the gently caress outta this guy, which would have been bad. anyway people should not be allowed to drive, we arent good at it.
