The driver is always, always at fault because by driving a two-ton heavy machine on the road, the driver is putting every one else in danger. With great danger comes great responsibility.
I like to keep reminding drivers about this by walking in front of their cars when they’re not expecting it.
No joke, no sarcasm.
I just don’t care about getting hurt as much as I care about teaching these drivers a lesson. I don’t jump in front of cars randomly if they don’t see me, but a driver who clearly looks me in the eye when I’m clearly about to step on a crosswalk — I don’t even hesitate to step in front of them no matter what they’re driving and how hard. (*edit I tell a lie, I actually don’t do it to public transportation now that I think about it) Several times people have had to stomp their brakes and even somewhat slid sideways on an icy road.
I have been yelled at several times, but 9/10 the people realise it’s their mistake. The remaining 10% are egotistical arseholes who know they’re wrong but can’t handle it.
I do this because traumatising the driver with “oh shit I almost ran over someone” could prevent a kid from getting run over by those exact drivers.

Exactly
