[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 3586345, member: 5053"] I know neither the law nor UPS will ever treat it this way, and we really shouldn't drive this way, but...... I think every accident with a pedestrian on a road should be considered entirely the pedestrian's fault unless the driver was doing something completely ridiculous. Roads were made for vehicles. If you're not a vehicle, you need to respect the fact that you're on turf meant for something else and behave accordingly. Any crash on a sidewalk is the truck's fault, so any crash on the road is the pedestrian's fault, outside of truly ridiculous or intentional recklessness. When I walk into a street, I expect absolutely nothing of the vehicles and it's my job not to get hit. [/QUOTE]
