Is that a serious question?

You're not responsible for them... you ARE responsible for yourself.

If you find it difficult to be fully aware of your surroundings and find yourself crossing driveways without looking over your shoulder... then the blame lies with you... just as it would a driver.

I drive, I walk, I ride my bicycle... I'm responsible for being aware of others and not crossing a driveway when there's a risk of colliding with something or someone.

Are you?

I see you are too heavily invested in the myth of individual responsibility for collective problems for further discussion to be productive.

PS: pedestrians always have the right of way.

Good try, though. 🤦🏼

@anomnomnomaly Your assumption that everyone can see/hear leaves a lot of people out. Are you going to blame them for being blind or Deaf/hard of hearing?

Or should we design roads so drivers see people and stop in time? That's better for everyone as a systemic solution that doesn't rely on individual humans to be perfect every time or die. Other transportation modes have many more such safety checks and balances built in; why not driving?
