A black mom was trying to cross the street from a bus stop, because the nearest crosswalk was almost a mile away. A driver hits her child and she gets blamed for “jay walking”. Just an insanely evil country.
Still, I thought it was legal to cross if the nearest crosswalk was more than a block away. I’m sure it’s a "depends on the state thing…still bullshit though
I dunno, I’m from a place where jaywalking doesn’t exist.
Ah probably germany, even at night. No cars driving, waiting at a red light.
No…the UK. Jaywalking as a concept doesn’t exist, you’re entitled to cross the road wherever it’s safe (* with exceptions).
Wait, there are countries where crossing the road can be a crime? Screw that.
In the US early in the auto age it became a crime…like loitering, only enforced when convenient.
If you dislike that you’ll reeeally hate how many times bikers get blamed for getting run over…
