28. Right of way doesnt mean right to break the law and alot of places have laws

Tue Nov 25, 2014, 09:54 PM

Nov 2014

on the books about blocking the road or crossing at places other than designated crosswalks which are meant to for pedestrians to cross not decide to deliberately stop and hold up traffic.
So again imo everyone should be held accountable for their actions that led to the incident from the pedestrians if they broke a law to the driver.
