people are legitimately confused about the rules here. They'll just dart out anywhere and assume people will stop. - Reagen Jul 19, 09:14 5
- I personally cross streets at places other then a streetlight or crosswalk but never would with one kid let alone three. - Walt_Disney Jul 19, 09:18 1
  - yeah, I would take the risk for me but not with kids. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:19
- that happens quite a bit here, but it's partly due to lack of crosswalks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:14 2
  - people mistake courtesy for safety. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 09:16 1
    - absolutely. I don't stop for peds outside of crosswalks, because other drivers might not stop. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:17
You don't think "attempting to cross at the intersection" means in the crosswalk? -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:13 2
- she was convicted of "crossing roadway elsewhere than at crosswalk " -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:14
- Nevermind, just saw the "other than the crosswalk." Weird. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:14
and how does that dude have a license after the first hit and run? so sad -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 09:05 3
- apparently it was on the same day. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:09 2
  - No, he was convicted of two hit-and-runs on the same day in 1997. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:12 1
    - oh, I see. wow. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 09:13
