Pedestrians and right of way
I was almost run over by an impatient idiot in a red Jeep Cherokee turning left while trying to cross Lafayette (in the crosswalk, with the walk signal) in Detroit this afternoon.
For those of you who don't know Michigan law or don't have any common sense, here's what one trooper recently said.
“But the word 'lawfully' is important,” he said. “A vehicle would not be required to yield to a person illegally in a crosswalk.
“Of course, it should go without saying that, in practice, a vehicle
should yield to a pedestrian regardless of a statutory obligation to do
so.”
This idiot in the Cherokee had the nerve to make some stupid face and bark at me as he went by. What a selfish moron.
