In fact, in the US, we have the same rule. However, if I decide to walk out into traffic with no regard for my personal safety (particularly not at a designated cross walk or light), my "right of way" doesn't translate into automatic fault for the driver. Imagine, personal responsbility... That concept is sadly lacking here. And, second, apparently you haven't had to go through the stretch I'm speaking of. Given that, each of the times I was discussing, I was going about 10 kilometers per hour, I'm afraid that when you are driving and the person in front of you decides with no prior warning to slam on their brakes, you will do the same and still risk an accident. In the stretch I'm discussing, there is no such thing as "safe distance" nor is there the possibility of being a speedy Mario. Just craziness and people with death wishes :).MommaBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452302193049028569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-977674439139943722007-07-19T11:35:00.000-07:002007-07-19T11:35:00.000-07:00now now MommaBean...what happened to two important...now now MommaBean...what happened to two important driving safety rules: 1) pedestrians have the right of way, and 2) leaving a safe following distance to the car in front of you????<BR/><BR/>Funny how we all turn into speedy Mario once we get behind the wheel of anything that moves.<BR/><BR/>Be safe (and patient).Aymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621355717058803138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-65794929648641681052007-07-19T06:34:00.000-07:002007-07-19T06:34:00.000-07:00Thanks!
