[QUOTE="soberups, post: 830542, member: 14668"] The fact that they got hit had nothing to do with being in front of the package car, and everything to do with the fact that they [B]failed to look both ways before crossing the street.[/B] If I am crossing behind the package car, then the only way for me to see oncoming traffic in the opposite lane is to go to the drivers side and peek around the corner of the car. At that moment, my back is turned [I]away[/I] from the cars that are approaching in my lane and I have [I]no[/I] protection whatsoever. If one of them veers into the rear of the package car I am going to get squashed. If I cross in front of the car, I still have to peek around the corner....but I have a 5000 lb shield sitting between me and the approaching traffic. In either case I still have to look both ways before crossing the street, which is something I learned to do in first grade. [/QUOTE]
